SE 8-Piece Brass Pin Punch Set - Non-Marring, Various Sizes for Gunsmithing, Woodwork, Automotive - Includes Storage Pouch - ST1032B

Bunches are well-made and you have to remember that brass is soft and if you use too small of a punch on something that is too tight, you will mushroom it and maybe break it. Removing the sights on my Equalizer was difficult And I had to use a much larger punch than I expected, as I really had to hit it hard. Tried it with a smaller diameter punch, and it started to mushroom and flatten the tip. Upon installation of the new site, I could use a smaller punch. The brass that was left on the slide easily wiped off when I was finished. I recommend these for working on firearms.

They function great in the size and accuracy is perfect easy to use and the weight isn’t terrible at all. Very good quality. I used them to install multiple sites on different pistols..

Received this punch set to work on firearms. I specialize in Curio Relics. Some of the firearms I handle are 70+ years of age. Much of the exterior nomenclature has never been removed. Front iron sights are especially tough. I was trying to remove the front iron sight from a WWII Rifle. I had the right sizes to do the job. 2 out of 3 bent. As for as the manufacturer their product is fine. I will have to find punches that are nearer industrial grade that are tailored to what I do. Keep in mind when you purchase for smithing these punches are more likely suited to modern firearms and work within what the product is produced for.

I ordered this punch set for the specific purpose of removing the rear sight on my Smith and Wesson Bodyguard 2.0, which is a notoriously difficult task. Using the 3/16” punch, and a ball peen hammer, to my pleasant surprise, the sight slid out of the dovetail with much less effort than I had anticipated. There was some damage to the tip of the punch, which is to be expected, but it sure beat the heck out of damaging the sight or the slide. The set consists of 8 punches ranging in size from 1/16 to 5/16 packed in a plastic storage pouch. It’s a pretty good value especially considering the alternative of having to purchase a sight pusher. By the way, the S&W service tech that I spoke with suggested that a punch was the preferred method of sight removal on the Bodyguard 2.0. The set is now a permanent part of my gunsmith tools as I’m sure I’ll find additional uses for them in the future.

Excellent for gunsmithing. Of course, you still have to line up the punch correctly to prevent marring.

Don't waste your money on this cheaply made set. After a single use, the 1/8" punch effortlessly bent which exposed an even greater issue. If you see the picture I provided, this is not a solid piece of brass, if it even is actually brass. All of these are trimmed at slightly differing lengths, with differing chamfers. The markings to indicate also show hastily thrown together manufacturing, as it is clearly done by hand in a careless fashion that lacks clarity, and was thrown on. The true nature of this punch is that as I said before - it is not a single piece. The handle portion is an individual handle, and the actual punch is a pin that is inserted into the handle. This is extremely weak, and should not be used for anything but the lightest work. 0/10 manufacturing quality - This was meant to scam you, nothing more.

I removed a couple of punches to look at them and when attempting to replace them in the pouch, the pouch tore. As a machinist, the color of the brass is pretty light telling me it is a brittle type of brass. If when the time comes to use them, I will change my rating.

Well made! Warning, this is brass so it is very soft. Not made for heavy usage. Made to be gentle on the material.

Good price, exactly as described.

I use these a lot for my guns. Well made!

Ordered the product for working on guns and other things that require brass punches. They arrived and I was surprised how small in length they were. Could have been at least 2” longer in length

Very well made and accurate dimensions. Great for gunsmith work as they don’t damage threads or most finishes
