Perfect for pushing pins or aligning parts.
These are perfect for pushing straight pins or aligning parts to take a pin on an AR-15, shotgun, bolt action or the carburetor on your lawn mower. The storage block is also a nice addition and keeps them organized. "Note to internet gunsmiths, these aren't pin punches, pry bars or hammers so if you bend or break one you should re-think your title."

Great tool for Glock 43/48 work!
This tool makes re-assembling your Glock 43 or 48 (and maybe other Gen 5s?) much easier. I use it as a "slave pin" to align the six(!) different holes that must be lined up when de-installing the trigger pin. It's the perfect size. Inserting it from the left side (you can use a smaller diameter pin punch to help line things up) I hold it in place with a bit of light pressure and then gently drive in the trigger pin from the right using a small light hammer. It keeps all those holes lined up as the trigger pin pushes it out. Piece of cake! Thanks to Brownells for yet another great tool for the DIY-er!

Handy Set
This is a great set and the block makes a nice place to store them on your bench. They are not made to be hammered, but you could lightly tap them with a nylon hammer without damage. The set I bought included steel and brass.

Brownells push pin set
I like the brass pin pushers but the steel pin pushers are very soft and will bend easily if you need to align parts.
