TuffMan Tools, Roll Pin Punch Set 9pc - Great for Gun Building and Removing Pins

USEFULL TOOLS

Update 8/21/17- Added a star and wanted to comment on the great customer service. After seeing my original review seller sent another set for my review which was much better. Still not the best you can buy but very useable for the price paid and much cheaper many others out there. Thanks Rettun for the extra effort. --- end update --- I really dont understand all the rave reviews on these as I make quite a few purchases on Amazon and usually from studying reviews I always come out on top and getting what I expected. These arent that impressive to me... almost all of them are bent right out of the package new. Maybe my expectations are off for a $12 set of Chinese import punches. They actually look pretty decent and the roll pouch is nice enough but I think I pulled almost every one of them out and rolled them on a flat table to check how true they were. I could see a wobble (some bigger than others) in all of them. Many of them are crooked enough you can see theyre bent before rolling them. Theyre import cheap -but the reviews were so good? I came back to see if maybe I miss read or miss ordered? No, all the 5 star reviews are here. Will they still do ok slightly bent?...or should I send them back? Im going to guess theyll get the job done for an occasional DIY home gunsmith for a cheap enough price but theres no way they can be 5 stars, somethings wrong here. If your an occasional user like me give them a shot for $12, might be all you should be spending for one or two builds and a little mantinance. If your a real gunsmith, training and studying to be one or will use these enough to warrant spending more... Id say keep looking.

This pin punch set is a great value for the money. I recently had purchased and returned several low cost China punch sets, either due to, premature punch breakage or having defects right out of the box. However, the TuffMan Tools set get a thumbs up for having decent quality for the price.

Seems to be of good quality.

These punches are a good addition to my gunsmith tools. They get the job done, however, they are a tad on the weak side. I bent 2 of them just trying to install my bolt catch pin, which is not a very large pin. I think the combination of the force needed to drive the pin in, the small diameter of punch needed, and the awkward angle all played a roll in bending 2 of the smaller punches. I was able to bend them back into true, so hopefully they continue to work in the future. The included carry case is a nice addition to keep them together and organized.

Purchased these to disassemble a trigger group on a micro-compact pistol and needed several small sized punches. This set had all the sizes I needed and seems well made. Also the roll-up case is handy for storage. They worked nicely for my project.

The 1/16 punch will break easily. Every manufacturer has the same problem. The solution: Use a small Phillips screwdriver to punch

Funcionan bien

Good price and seem to be well made.
