DELUXE PUNCH BENCH SET Reviews & Ratings

This deluxe punch set gives you a versatile selection of 20 punches to easily start, remove and install pins, align holes, plus drift and stake sights without marring the part or firearm finish. We combined alignment punches, flat tip mini punches, starter punches, a nylon drift punch, and a center and prick punch with our most popular pin punches, then added a machined Delrin® bench block to hold and organize them all for easy access. Punches are constructed of hardened steel with parallel-ground shanks and either knurled or hexagonal handles. The nylon drift punch is solid nylon and can be shaped for your specific application. Alignment punches feature a tapered pin with a working length almost 3" long to help ensure a tight fit with any size diameter hole size between the minimum and maximum outside diameter of the punch. Each punch minimum diameter overlaps slightly with the next larger punch to prevent any possible gaps in hole coverage. Mini punches are small diameter punches with a flat tip that provide excellent control because of their short length. Ideal for precision work and tight spots where a full-length punch just won’t fit. Use the starter punches to start the removal of roll or spring pins without causing damage to the pins or the punch. Short shafts give more control by putting your hand closer to the pin and prevents bending the longer, standard roll pin punches. Prick punch has a fine, sharp point for marking spots before center punching and staking sights. Gives better visibility and more precision to your marking. Use the center punch after the prick punch to deepen the mark for precision drilling. The pin punches are used after the starter punch to finish drive the roll pin or spring pin. Bench block is also available separately.

Very nice set of punches

The punches are great. I have other Brownells punches and they are top notch. I gave it four stars because as others mentioned the front row of holes in the block are not quite large enough. I will fix that and then I will give myself that extra star!! Glad I have these. Read the parts included carefully. There are three alignment punches in this set. I ordered the alignment punch set and will return it because they are included here.

Worth it!

Have enjoyed having the right sized punch at hand when needed. Much better than those supplied in the wood block encased hammer punch sets sold as tools for gun tinkerers. 4 stars simply because a few didn't fit the block but it was a simple matter to drill to fit. The punches themselves I'll give 5 stars.

Deluxe Punch Bench Set

I used the punches to take down a 870 in class and was hitting my punch very hard and they did not bend at all. Would have given them a 5 rating but the holding block wouldnt hold all the punches
