The Mokuba E‑2 Nail Punch & Puller 210mm is a beautifully crafted Japanese hand tool that combines four essential functions into one compact, well‑thought‑out design. Measuring 210mm in length, it features a nail setting end, a claw for pulling nails and tacks, a tack hammer head, and a straightening groove built into the handle. Forged with the quality and attention to detail you would expect from Mokuba, it is designed to be durable, precise, and comfortable to use.
The nail punch end has a slightly concave face that helps locate nail heads accurately and prevents slipping when setting them below the surface. The claw end allows tacks and small nails to be removed cleanly during repair or adjustment work, while the rear of the claw doubles as a small hammer for driving tacks. A straightening groove along the body of the tool makes it easy to true up bent nails or tacks before reuse, adding to its versatility in the workshop.
What sets this tool apart is how seamlessly these functions are integrated into a single, balanced form. Rather than carrying multiple small tools, the E‑2 delivers nail punching, pulling, hammering, and straightening in one robust piece, making it especially useful for joinery, cabinetry, furniture making, and on‑site fitting work. It pairs naturally with a small claw hammer or Japanese gennou for general fixing tasks and sits perfectly alongside fine hand tools where controlled, accurate nail work is required.
Compact, tough, and intelligently designed, it is a deceptively simple tool that proves its value again and again.
