Square Drive Nailset in a Pinch

Square Drive Nailset in a Pinch

A Robertson “square drive” driver bit of the right size can become a makeshift nailset on a jobsite or if a nailset is not around. Simply put the bit in a magnetic bit holder for drill/drivers or impact drivers and tap on the hex end of the holder with a hammer to recess the nail head. It’s not an ideal substitute, but it sure comes in handy in a pinch.
