Malco offers three different models of trim nail punches, depending on your preference, TNP2S, TNP2R, and TNP3S. Each model effectively drives trim nails into soffit, fascia, and other finishing trim without denting or marring material. The TNP2S, Heavy Duty Trim Nail Punch features an all-steel nose and aluminum tail piece that directs weight to the working end when grasping or starting a nail. Accommodates up to 1-1/4″ (31.2 mm) standard trim nails. Nose fits into 1/2″ (12.7 mm) J-channel. The TNP2R, Trim Nail Punch with Retaining Clip, offers easier nailing from any angle or height and has an exclusive, “nail retaining clip” feature. Avoid the awkwardness and strain of balancing nails in the nose of the punch or holding back the drive pin while standing on a ladder or reaching out to nail. The new retaining clip also minimizes scrapes and dents caused by nail slippage or improper setting depth.

Seems to be of good quality! Not sure where it's made, hopefully in the good US of A! Save your big fingers from hammer blows & buy one of these!

It's very helpful for not hitting the wheel when putting on the wheels and axles onto pinewood derby cars.

I don't often write reviews. Usually, if something's doing what it's supposed to do, I'm busy using it and moving on. But I honestly I can't recall a time where a new tool completely changed the way I work. This little piece of geniosity took finish nail work from something I've dreaded to an absolute breeze. I set dozens of trim nails today without bending one of them, rapid-fire, done in no time. Hats-off to whoever came up with this. If you're sick of having trim nails glancing off your hammer, having to straighten or pull them out and start over, get this. Get two of them. You'll be glad you did. Indispensable.

These are the best trim nail punches I have found. Small enough to get into right spots but pretty heavy duty compared to some of the other ones!

The opening is too small for the standard 1.25" aluminium trim nails that we use locally. So I drilled out the opening to accomodate them, and it works well enough after the modification.

If you've never used these before, you'll be amazed how well this allows you to put in nails into fine woodworking and dramatically reduce the chances of either damaging the wood or else bending the nail. I have both this mini size TNP3S (2.25oz) and the larger and heftier TNP2 (5.65oz). I originally bought them to quickly put in nails for bronze weatherstripping and immediately used them for all sorts of other nailing too. They both work remarkably well, although they each works well in different ways.The "mini" size does not seem that small to me and I like the size better. It's much more narrow. On the other hand, nails go in MUCH faster with the heavier TNP2. The larger size has a spring-loaded "clip" built into the barrel to help keep a nail from sliding out (if it has a larger head than a trim nail anyway). And I learned it's far more durable (with the possible exception of the spring loaded clip, which I messed around with bending it to try to get it hold nails more tightly).So I was using the TNP3S yesterday to nail 2.5in trim nails (Maze HT250) into extremely dense old-growth oak that's 100-years old (this wood is so dense that ordinary nails pop the heads off with a claw hammer before they pull the nail out, and Maze nails are the only ones I've found I can consistently pull back out...). And I'm totally baffled how, but all of a sudden my Malco mini punch is jammed and nearly unusable. Somehow either the outer sleeve or the inner part that moves inside it got bent so it they don't always slide freely anymore, and tend to get jammed up. So the smaller TNP3S is not nearly as durable as the ordinary TNP2 version. Durability is critical to me, and ordinarily I'd never want to buy a product again that got damaged so easily. However this small size is so incredibly useful and convenient, and the wood I'm working with is so unusually hard, I'll give it another chance. I pre-drilled holes but the slender drill tip isn't 2.5in long and there's absolutely NO WAY I could have got 2.5in trim nails into this dense wood without a tool like this one. (some bent even so, going in the last half inch that wasn't pre-drilled) I immediately bought a replacement for the mini size. It's far easier to replace this tool than the original oak woodwork in a 100-year old house. It's that simple.Bottom line, I prefer the small one when I want to be more careful and am willing to take my time to be careful with wood in a really visible place that can't be easily replaced, and in tight spaces. I bought the large one first, then ordered the small one and never touched the big one again til this happened yesterday. I may use the larger one most of the time in the future, be very careful with the small one, and maybe I'll use the smaller version only in cases where the large one isn't practical (such as the really small bronze weatherstripping nails I originally bought this for).
