Craftool® Spike Setter For 1/2" (13 mm) Spikes

The 3-inch length gives you plenty of leverage, and the 1/2" opening aligns perfectly with my rivetback spikes—no wobble, no miss. Honestly, it's made setting them almost boring.

I’ve been setting rivetback spikes for a while and this setter finally makes the job feel effortless—the 1/2-inch bore lines up perfectly every time. At just under eight inches long, it’s compact enough to grip comfortably without cramping my hand.

For a tool this simple, the fit is what matters and this one is spot-on—the 3-inch body sits comfortably in my palm and the 0.39-inch width lets me line up the 13 mm spike perfectly every time. No wobble, no missed strikes, just a clean seat on the first try.
