Spring Tools PM407 Professional Door Hinge Pin Remover & Nail Set Tool - Hammerless Door Pin Removal - Dual Nail Set for Trim Work - Spring Powered Nail Setter - Painter & Carpenter Essential Tool

We had all our inside door hinges replaced as part of a remodel last year. One hinge recently started squeaking, but for the life of me I couldn't get the pin out to lubricate it. My normal strategy of putting a nail in the bottom and knocking it upwards with a hammer to push out the pin didn't seem to budge it. Grabbing the pin with vise-grips or diagonal cutters and banging on them didn't work, either, though that did a bit of cosmetic damage to the pin. I searched the Internet for other approaches, but nothing I tried worked. Then I stumbled upon this tool and decided to give it a shot. Within minutes of receiving the tool, I had the problematic pin out. So, I figured solving a problem that had me stymied warranted a review. Plus I wanted to tell someone but it's hard to get friends excited about hinge pin removal. The spring tools themselves seem solid and well made, and no worse for wear after removing a couple hinge pins. My only caution is not to get too relaxed when using it; if you release the spring when there is a gap between the striker and its target, the whole body will move and sting your fingers enough to help you remember next time.

I have three doors that I need to stain. I tried all the tricks to get them out and failed. So I decided to just be careful and stain them while still hung on door. After doing the first one, I realized that it took too long and too messy. I had to figure out a way to get the doors out. I found this and decided to try it out. Wow. It just works. All doors are now out. What a great little product that does the job!

Easy to use Fit in tight spaces I received these today and tried them out around the house to see how they worked. First impressions: On old hinges, the hinge pin removal tool takes a few strikes to drive the pin out of the top, newer hinges would probably be much easier, time will tell. Less space was necessary to use it compared to a hammer/punch, this made removing the bottom hinge pin easier. The nailset works well to recess finishing nails. Drove a framing nail from a nailgun 1/2" into a 2x4 with 6 strikes. It will bend small brads from a trim nailer if they're stucking out too far, but thats to be expected with thin wire brads. Fun tool to use, and very quick. Overall, glad I bought this set, and I think I'll enjoy using these at work.

The nail set is perfect for varying how much whack is needed to set a finish nail. So much easier to use in tight places than a traditional hammer and nail set punch. The hinge pin popper is ok for most pins but would be better if the stem was longer than one inch. Some hinge pins need to be driven more than one inch.

I purchased this set of Spring Tools after watching several YouTube videos on various ways to remove hinge pins from doors. I have a house built in the 70s with original hardware. One of the doors was sticking and I wanted to adjust the hinges to eliminate that issue. I had tried using a screwdriver with a hammer, and while it worked, I wanted something easier. In preparation for using this product, I tried going to the manufacturer's YouTube channel to get instructions on how to use it - step by step. There were none. I found another channel with a seller of a similar product and they had the tutorial I needed. Admittedly, this isn't tough to use, but there were some tips to avoid mishaps. I wish this tool came with a link to a tutorial, had updated YouTube videos on how to use the tools, or a brief instructional something on the packaging. Since the hinges are old, I sprayed a product to loosen up any rust or debris before using the tool. This helped a lot as when I tried dislodging the pin without it, even the power of the spring wouldn't budge 'em! I was able to successfully remove all the pins with the use of this spring tool, but one got stuck midway and would go no further by using the spring. I ended up using the claw end of a hammer to pull it up and out. I tried the other tool and it worked as expected, easily making a pinhole mark in wood and metal. I didn't pull back very hard on it, but I could see where it would be very useful too. Both tools seem well made and would be good for DIY and casual users. I don't think they are up to pro-quality, but for the occasional job, they are useful. For hinge pin removal, the spring tool worked as expected and made the job faster and easier.

OK these tools might seem a bit archaic. They don’t have motors. Yes they use springs. But if you need to countersink a bunch of nails or remove the hinge pins from a door that has 15 coats of paint on it, these tools are the greatest! Try removing the lowest hinge pin on an old door without marring it all up. Without these, good luck. The other tool is quite possibly the fastest, most accurate, and safest (no hammer needed) way to countersink 99% of the nails out there.

These 2 little tools are a must have for anyone doing stuff around the house. The nail tool worked awesome and worked great for me! The door hinge tool worked just as well. Way better than using a hammer and screw driver to get the pin out.

I wish I bought the bigger set. You will be amazed at the hit strength in this simple concept and quality US made product. I bought the plastic hinge pin remover that people complain about cracking and I get it and I decided to order this for the nail setting capability but after snapping out some hinge pins I converted myself to this system. I really like the simplicity of both tools. I wish I had the chisel set. Maybe next time. Convenient, fast and no need to have a hammer present which is one less tool on the belt. Simply brilliant.

Arrived on time, bought as a gift which was appreciated. Good quality

These things are great. Been doing lots of renos and pulling doors has never been easier. Great for tapping in finishing nails. Even used them to crack away a small section of grout.

Works like a champ, but beware it hurts like hell if you hot your fingers

Good quality from a reputable company 😀

يسهل الاعتقاد بأنها ستوفر قوة ضرب ضعيفة فقط - لكنها قوية جدًا!! عبقرية خالصة.
