Drift Punches

| Type: | hand tool |
| Material: | nails |

Use this punch to align drilled pieces, e.g. for riveting, or to drive nails in a little deeper without leaving ugly hammer marks. There are also varieties with a cupped end for the nail head to disappear into, but we just have a simple straight one.
Also useful for removing nail fragments from scrap wood!
