Tools and Hardware Reviews of ThumbSaver TS001 Magnetic Nail Setter Bonus Pack
Customer Review: Necessity v. Practicality
Summary: 5 Stars
One reviewer questioned the necessity of this tool. Since that goes to the heart of why I purchased, I'll respond to that premise. Of course, you can always use your fingers, so a nail setter is obviously not necessary. In fact, no similar tool, including that reviewer's recommended needle nose pliers, is truly necessary. However, there are some advantages.
Like needle nose pliers, a nail setter can protect your fingers. Moreover, a nail setter is faster to load up than needle nose pliers (good for repetitive jobs) and, since the nail is held by magnetics instead of the teeth of a tool, offers no resistence to the movement of the nail into your project when struck. Latter can also protect both the nail (scratches, etc) and your tool (wear on the teeth, etc). Besides, I'd rather ding up this nail setter than a tool intended for another purpose. Dings on a nail setter often cause no real harm (to it's simple function), while the same on another tool could destroy it (jaw alignment on pliers, etc).
So, while a nail setter is not necesary, it is practical - in roughly the same manner as a hammer is more practical than needle nose pliers for hammering nails.
Clearly one is always free to continue using fingers, pliers, or whatever. I certainly won't criticize those choices. These nail setters (ThumbSaver TS001 Magnetic) are my choice. Others have already commented about the sturdiness, the price is decent enough for the pair (standard & mini), and they do serve a purpose well.
