ABSTRACT:
A nail set tool to facilitate driving a nail set and having a resilient body with a truncated conical projection, an upper surface for receiving the impact force from a hammer blow, a lower surface of the projection adapted for bearing engagement with the workpiece, and an elongate axial hole extending therethrough for holding the nail set. The resilient body is compressed by the force of the blow received by the upper surface thereof and resiliently opposes the impact force with increased resilient force during increased compression to effectively limit the travel of the hammer, thus preventing overdriving of the nail set. The resilient body also shields the workpiece from the hammer. A flexible blade attached to the projection facilitates employment of the tool in otherwise inaccessible areas. The nail set has a shank extending through the hole, a boss overlying the upper surface of the body, and a head for receiving the hammer blow.
