Punch criminal in Tesla (4,3)

I believe the answer is:

nail set

'punch' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'criminal in tesla' is the wordplay.
'criminal' indicates anagramming the letters.
'in'+'tesla'='intesla'
'intesla' is an anagram of 'NAIL SET'.

(Another definition for nail set that I've seen is " punch".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
