Premium Brass Punch Set – 8 Pcs Professional Brass Drive Pin Punch Set - Non-marring Brass Punch Set for Gunsmithing - Assorted Gun Punch Set for Watch Repair Jewelry and Craft – By Maxopro

DO NOT buy these punches if youre going to do anything a punch should do. The shaft bends so easily you would think they were made of rubber. Only the thickest punches are sturdy. Most of the punches in this kit can be bent with two fingers, making any taps with a mallet or armorers hammer wayyyyy too easy to bend with just one stroke. Strongly advise to never buy these.

These are decently made simple brass punches for drifting steel and other harder metal where you dont want marring or cracking.

A precision brass punch is not a tool you will not find in every toolbox, but can be essential for many hobbyist or craftsman applications. In the past I have resorted to using an old drill bit, a cut off nail, or some other bit of round stock when I needed a punch. This set from Maxopro is very well made and at $24.99 a good value. It now gives me the right tool for the job. I recommend this to anyone looking to add a set of punches to their toolbox.

These work great for roll pins and drifting things for proper alignment without leaving marks. Pleasantly surprised

Hitting things with hammers always causes damage so having a soft punch to take the abuse is a must. This is a nice small brass punch set. soft enough not to scratch what you are working on but solid enough to get the job done. Nice set for the money.

**Update 10/24/22** The seller reached out to me since my first review was one star. I didnt respond back, but I see now the imaged is changed showing a length of 4 and it is at the beginning of the review. Because they fixed this, I added a star, but still doesnt change anything else on the review. ------------- I picked this set over others for one reason, one of the photos shows the dimensions as 5/8 inch thick at the base and overall length as 7.87 inch. This is false. These are no more than 3-1/2 inches long. To make matters worse, the 1/16 came bent. It was very easy to bend back, I was worried it would break. It should be soft because they are brass, but this quality control and false information is horrible. The main purpose I got these for, they need to be about 7 punches as advertised. But, because they are not, they will not work for what I intended. I thought these were more expensive due to their larger size, they appear to be all the same size as others sold for nearly half the price. I would avoid this, they are not 7 punches as advertised, due to this they are also overpriced.

I bought this punch set specifically to use the smaller sizes avaible, and was quickly dissapointed, now I understand that brass is a weaker metal, but this punch barely lasted one hit, bent immediately and was unsable as a punch after that. And trying to bend the metal back into shape did nothing. The larger sizes could probably be used depending on your need and are probably fine as they are. But if you need the smaller ones, buy something else that actually holds up. Appart from that the tool pocket was simple and does its job.

I have finally filled the need for brass punches. This set has the sizes that I need. And the brass gives peace of mind for not marring.

They dont mar steel parts. I am very pleased.
