Everything a gunsmith needs

Over a period of 35 years I have several types of brass punches but I must say this set covers pretty much everything you would need to do for Gunsmithing. As with all the other types of sets I have bought from Brownells the only negative is I wish the punches would fit the block better but I can fix that

Would you recommend this? Yes, I would recommend to a friend

Bownells Brass Punch Set

I am a Master Gunsmith, and have always used Brownells punches. I was also an armorer in the Army for many years. There is a time and place to use brass punches. Brass punches are not made to build an AR based weapon. To the first reveiwer listed, the user said he would not recommend to his friends. As I said earler, "There is a time and place for brass punches". Possibly the user misjudged the proper punch for the job. There is absolutely nothing wrong with this set. The key is knowing when to use the right punch for the right job.
