Nailsets

To eliminate the chance of missing the mark, these tools have a hollow shaft that slides over the nail and rests on the wood. Striking the tool drives an internal pin against the nailhead; you can't miss. One disadvantage: You have to lift the tool up to see how deep you've driven the nail. For nails up to 5d, use the Nail Driver (far left), $6, leevalley.com. For nails up to 6d, use the self-centering nailset, $5, stanleytools.com.
