The Starrett #S565Wb 8 Piece Pin Punch Set is a gunsmith's essential toolkit for precise pin removal and disassembly work. If you're building, maintaining, or repairing firearms—or doing serious metalwork—you need punches that won't mushroom, slip, or let you down. This set gives you eight hardened tool steel punches in the sizes you'll actually reach for, from 1/16" up to 5/16", all in one compact package.
Starrett's reputation is built on tools that work year after year without complaint, and these pin punches are no exception. Each punch is precision ground from specially selected tool steel, then hardened and polished to resist wear and handle repeated use. The blued, knurled grip keeps your hand stable and secure during delicate work, which matters when you're driving a punch near expensive parts. Every punch is individually marked with its size, so you grab the right tool without fumbling through the set.
At 4 inches long, each punch strikes a balance between reach and control—short enough to feel precise, long enough to work on most receiver and trigger group pins. Whether you're a full-time gunsmith, a serious DIY builder, or a dedicated metalworker, this set covers the common pin diameters you'll encounter in daily work.
