AdmiralAdama said:Is it a nail set punch? I've seen the spring action kind which looks a bit like your device.
If it is, its purpose is varied. Handy for finishing nails in tight spots or on finished or specialty wood like combings, moldings and baseboards.
The nail set drives the nail just below the wood surface. After you fill and paint or varnish over.
Or, I'm totally out to lunch on this.

scifan57 said:It does more than start the nail,it drives it flush with the surface. Your answer is close enough,however.
Your turn,Admiral.
