KAKURI Nail Punch Tool 1/8-Inch Kugishime – Made in Japan, Heavy-Duty Japanese Steel

Meet the KAKURI Kugishime Nail Setter

In traditional Japanese carpentry, nails are often set with tools that allow precise seating without marring surfaces. The KAKURI Kugishime Nail Setter delivers that heritage in a compact, modern form. Forged in Japan from high-grade Japanese carbon steel, this tool balances weight and control, helping you place nails with confidence in tight corners and between delicate pieces.

The tool features a double-headed design that lets you switch between a fine point for targeted pressure and a larger head for stable, chambered strikes. The larger head reduces accidental slips and minimizes the chance of hammer rebound, making tasks safer and more predictable.
