Apex 82273 Pin Punch 1/8 Inch X 5 Inch Phosphate Coated

Product Description

The APEX 82273 is a 1/8-inch pin punch designed for driving out pins and rivets during final removal in professional service and maintenance work. The working end is precision-hardened to withstand heavy-duty impact on demanding jobsites. The striking end is softened and tapered to reduce the risk of chipping under repeated hammer blows. Built from hex stock with a ground surface finish, the 82273 also features laser-etched sizing guides for quick identification in the field. At 5 inches in length and 0.09 pounds, it is a compact, durable hand tool suited for mechanics, millwrights, and trade professionals working on assemblies that require pin and rivet removal.

This punch is used across a wide range of professional applications including automotive repair, mechanical assembly, HVAC equipment servicing, and general fabrication work. It is well suited for removing clevis pins, roll pins, and rivets in tight or confined spaces where control and precision matter. The hex-stock body provides a positive grip and prevents the punch from rolling on flat work surfaces.

Installation Notes

Pin punches are used by mechanics and trade technicians and require a ball-peen or dead-blow hammer for proper operation. Always wear appropriate eye protection when driving pins or rivets. Position the punch squarely on the pin before striking to prevent slipping or marring surrounding components. Inspect the punch tip before each use and replace if deformation is observed.
