Reviews Summary

The BRASS ROLL PIN PUNCHES are criticized for being soft and inadequate for heavy-duty use, particularly for roll pins. Many reviewers suggest they are best suited for delicate tasks to avoid marring surfaces, but they bend easily and can leave brass residue. Users strongly recommend steel punches for tough jobs, implying that these brass tools may not be worth the investment.

I disagree with other reviewers

Brass punches are indeed "soft", that's the reason you buy brass punches over steel punches in the first place. Other reviewers mention using these to install roll pins in AR receivers. Again, this is a failure on the reviewer's part. Roll pins must be "started" with starter punches (SKU 080-685-000 for example) and then drive them in/flush with the proper roll pin punche (SKU 354-000-025). Those are the tools you need for an AR. These brass punches on the other hand are for lighter use, on visible parts you don't want to mar. Hence they aren't recommended as "general purpose" punches.
