How do I maintain the nail set?
Clean it after each use, store it in a dry place, and occasionally apply a thin coat of oil to prevent rust.

Troubleshooting
Nail head is damaged or the surrounding wood is marked.
Reduce the force applied. Ensure the nail set is perpendicular to the nail head. Use a softer hammer or tapping action.
Nail bends over during setting.
Ensure the nail is straight before setting. Use a lighter touch, and consider a pilot hole for hard wood.
The nail set slips off the nail head.
Ensure the nail set's concave head is properly aligned. Angle the tool slightly to improve grip. Check for burrs on the tool head and clean if necessary.
