Overview
Designed for firearms maintenance where roll pins need to be removed or installed without unnecessary damage, this starter punch is built for controlled alignment at the pin end. The balled tip helps seat the punch on the pin and supports more precise placement during the job. Made from heat-hardened carbon steel, it is intended for use as a dedicated shop tool rather than a general-purpose punch. Sold individually in the #1, 1/16" size, it suits users who need a specific diameter for a particular firearm task.
