nail set
Drives heads flush
A nail set is a small metal tool used to drive nail heads below the surface of wood.
The tapered tip fits against the nail head while the blunt end receives hammer blows, allowing finish nails to be countersunk without marring the surrounding wood: Use a nail set before filling the holes with putty.
