I found a Stanley tool someone had given me. It is about three inches
long, and 3/4" in diameter, with a round knurled surface. On one end,
there is a 1/8" or so rod projecting. On the other, there is a round
hole. When you press the 1/8" rod on one end, a 3/32 to 1/16" rod comes
out the other end the length of the opposite end. It looks like a
ballpoint pen but without the writing end sticking out. The rod is solid
through the body. It looks like if you were to put it over a finishing
nail, you would hit the top end, and it would countersink the other end,
and insure that one could not miss. Is that what it is?

Blunt or sharp?

If it is a blunt end, it is for setting nails. If it is a pointed end, it
is for making a self centered starting hole for hinge screws.


Blunt end, and looks like it would handle larger finishing nails. Now I
want to go get a smaller one for smaller nails. But then I bought a
pneumatic t nailer, and I don't have to use finishing nails on baseboards
any more.

But I DO need another tool.
