Great tools at a fair price.
These are the right tool to set your roll pins into the holes with out damaging the ends. The knurling makes them easy to hang onto as you drive the pin home.

These Do the Job For Me
After struggling to install small roll pins without these punches, these combined with the Brownells roll pin holdersare a blessing. I had the worst time installing AR15 forward assist roll pins using my tools on hand including centering punches, regular punches, and padded pliers. I got it done, but scuffed two uppers in the process. These roll pin punches, along with the Brownells roll pin holders made such fast and nice work of the job that it was almost anti-climactic. I haven't had to use much force to install any roll pins, so I haven't tested the limits of the bending strength of these.

Great tool
I think this is a great tool for disassembling my shotguns. It's a great tool and so far durability has been good. I don't think there's anything wrong with it.

The Right set of Punches
I just finished my first AR build and this set of pin punches made my job a whole lot easier. I used these in combination with the Brownell's Roll Pin Holder set and the "shorty" roll pin punch set. Needless to say I had the right punch and holder for every pin on my AR. There is a lot to be said for having the right tool for the job. Would most definitely recommend this product.

Great tool
These punches are pretty specialized, but I love to use the tool that's right for the job and these are definitely great tools for roll pins. I bought them just a few months ago so I can't say anything about the durability, but they seem to be more than adequate for the job they are intended for. They make it way easier to work with roll pins without slipping, which of course also makes you feel much more comfortable when working on a nicely finished gun. The only thing I find negative about this set is the somewhat limited selection. You find roll pins of various sizes in many applications (cars, appliances, machines in general), so I would be more than happy to pay more for a better assortment, including metric sizes. Still, these punches are obviously pretty darn good tools, as I want more of them.

Fantastic
I purchased these set of seven because I needed to change out some parts on my M-4. The tools are durable and I'd highly recommend them to anyone wishing to do work on their AR without having to pay big money for a gunsmith/armorer to do it for them.

Excellent Set
Just finished using these on an AR upgrade to my BCM. They worked perfectly. When I received them I noticed the #1 punch had a slight bend to it. I am unable to bend it back (pretty solid steel). It doesn't affect its ability to do the job. All of these are necessary for AR repairs and upgrades.

Good value, very useful for roll pins.
For the money, a very useful set although I rarely use the largest sizes. #1 and 2 can get damaged in the course of normal use due to their small size, perhaps the roll pin holders would help. I plan to order those next. You might want to order extras of these two smallest punches.
