Nail Pop Repair

The six steps to fixing a nail pop are as follows:
1. Prep nail pop with 5-in-1 tool.
2. Remove nail with needle-nose pliers.
3. Smooth out edges with screwdriver.
4. Use 20-minute spackle to fill the hole. For maximum effectiveness, we suggest you repeat this step three times as shown in the video. Apply the spackle, wait 20 minutes until dry, and then repeat.
5. Use a sanding block before painting.
6. Paint the area, making sure to feather out the paint for a uniform look.

Can you just remove the nail without replacing it with another one like demonstrated by this video?

Nhguna,

During installation, every joist and stud is glued first with construction adhesive then the drywall is applied to the joist or studs with screws and nails. There will be nails around the perimeter and screws going through the center. So if you lose a nail or a screw, the glue and other nails or screws in that area should hold it fine. If you do pull a nail or a screw during a repair and the drywall is flexing, then put a nail or screw 1 inch up from where you pulled the exposed one.

You literally need none of those tools. You need a hammer, a nail punch, quick set compound, a scraper, and drywall sponge.
