Keeps Those Longer Pin/Drift Punches From Self-Destructing
We are constantly encouraging you to always use starting punches to break tight pins loose - then use a "drift" or pin-punch to drive the pin the rest of the way out. This saves bending pin punches, but much more importantly, it prevents fine guns from getting pin punch mars should the pin punch bend and slip - or - break, and scratch. To bring you the best possible Starter Punches, we have had special, Short Replaceable Pins made up to fit our famous Gunsmith's Replacement Punch Set Handles. Their regular use will definitely improve your production . . . and your professionalism!
SPECS: Handle 3" (7.6cm) long x 3/8" (9.5mm) diameter. Pins 1" (2.5cm) long. Set includes 3 punches and three pins. Replacement Pin Sizes: .039" (.99mm) for 3⁄64" (1.2mm) diameter pins. .060" (1.5mm) for 1⁄16" (1.6mm) diameter pins; .091" (2.3mm) for 3⁄32" (2.4mm) diameter pins. 1" (2.5cm) length.

Not as good as they look(06/10/2017)
The cap doesnât stay tight so the pin is loose and easily crooked. This makes bending and breaking much easier. Very little use before all of mine were broken.
I would by this again(14/10/2009)
Very well made..I have used these punches for front sight pins and to start other pins out..They work very well and keep you from bending your regular punches.The best thing is;If you ever bend one you can get replacement ends..
Order this set!(12/03/2010)
Don't do as I did and order the individual punches ... go ahead and order the 080-513-000 set - you will need each size. In the long run you will save money.
Disappointed(15/12/2010)
I purchased this set to use on an AR. Unfortunately, the large punch won't fit all the way through the collet. I would just go ahead and drill it out, but the small pin wobbles around in it's collet like the town drunk on Saturday night, so I'm returning the set instead. I had to debur the large collet before the pin would enter even partially. At least the middle pin was ok. Nice idea, poorly executed. Too bad.
Buy a normal set, skip these!(13/06/2011)
The loosen constantly and the knurling is very aggressive which can damage the work piece easily if not paying attention.
Replacement Punch tips and punch holder(09/10/2011)
These are great and I have 3 sets with 3 lengths of each punch diameter. You need to exercise caution gust as with any small diameter punch but with these you can cut and face them as short as needed then progress to the next length. Best of all you buy 6 new tips for less then the price of a single punch so when used properly they are great and flexible per job.
Where have these been all my life(18/03/2016)
Just getting that stuck pin out can bend your punch. These are shorter so they do not bend as easily and the tip is replaceable. No more buying a punch (or kit) to replace a bend tool. Have used them several times and have yet to bend an insert.
