The present invention is a nail placement device that includes an enter rod that allows the device to extend into a confined area wherein the enter rod's diameter forms an indentation on the distal end of the enter rod and a magnetic tip disposed on the distal end of the enter rod that secures a nail to be sunk into a desired surface within the relatively confined area. The device also includes an inner rod that receives the proximal end portion of the enter rod that is weighted that enhances any force utilized to set the nail with the device and an ergonomically designed handle to accommodate the user's fingers and a raised distal end to prevent the user's fingers and grasping hand from sliding off of the handle while utilizing the device.
