1/16” roll pin holder
A must have along with a starter for small roll pins. I found it necessary to securely clamp the part in a vice when installing pins, else the pin may mushroom.

Wish I would have gotten these sooner
These make starting roll pins so much easier. I use the Wheeler method for determining COAL to the lands. This set rounded out my tools to make the bolt stripping job quick and easy on me and the parts being worked on. I wish I had bought these for my AR build as it would have helped there as well.
