  • Patent number: 6564681
    Abstract: A nail set holder holds a nail set, which is a punch, to drive nails into boards. The holder includes a hollow head with a sleeve therein for insertion of the nail set therein. The nail set is secured in place by fasteners, such as set screws. The handle is hollow, for enclosing alternate sized nail sets. It is proposed that the sleeve be large enough for larger nail sets, and the thinner ones can be held in place by setting the set screws in further, or by an auxiliary sleeve. Options also include a foam or rubber textured gripping surface on the handle body, and a shock absorber or caulking at the removable cap end to prevent loosening of the cap during vibrations of use.
