It is made for (among other things) nailing into vinyl siding J-channel trim. It would be useful for hammering a nail into any sort of confined space. I&#8217;ve used it on staples for electrical wiring &#8211; the type that have a small nail on either side &#8212; to attach Romex style electrical wiring to a wooden stud, for example. <\/p>\n<p>To use it, you insert a nail in the punch, and hit the hardened steel extension on the other side of the punch.<\/p>\n<p>I was stapling a lot of electrical wires to some plywood inside a wall underneath the electrical panel in my house, so as you might imagine, it was difficult to get a hammer inside a hole cut into the wall where the wires are, and then try to hammer a nail whose head is about 1\/8&#8243; wide. The Wiss nail punch tool made this job incredibly simple. <\/p>\n<p>The applications for it seem fairly specific, but boy, will you be glad you have the tool when you run into one of those situations.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/files\/2016\/06\/punch1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/files\/2016\/06\/punch1.jpg\" alt=\"punch\" width=\"657\" height=\"379\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-26887\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/files\/2016\/06\/punch1.jpg 657w, https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/files\/2016\/06\/punch1-300x173.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 657px) 100vw, 657px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div class='ctx-module-container ctx_default_placement ctx-clearfix'><\/div><span class=\"ctx-article-root\"><!-- --><\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Long nose allows easy access to 1\/2&#8243; J channel<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":76,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mi_skip_tracking":false},"categories":[1449],"tags":[2328],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26885"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/76"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=26885"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26885\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":26888,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26885\/revisions\/26888"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=26885"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=26885"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=26885"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
