Apex 82277 Pin Punch 5/16 Inch X 7 Inch Hex Stock

Product Description

The APEX 82277 is a professional-grade pin punch designed for driving out pins and rivets during final removal in mechanical and maintenance applications. Built from hex stock with a ground surface, this punch allows for quick size identification on the job. The working end is precision-hardened to handle heavy-duty impact without deforming, while the striking end is softened and tapered to reduce the risk of chipping under repeated hammer blows. Phosphate coating provides basic corrosion resistance. Laser-etched sizing guides are integrated for convenience. The punch measures 5/16 inch in diameter and 7 inches in overall length, weighing 0.32 pounds.

This pin punch is suited for automotive, industrial, and general mechanical service work where pins, rivets, or roll pins must be removed cleanly and safely. It performs in final-stage removal after a starter or taper punch has been used to break the pin free. The tool is sold individually and is appropriate for use by mechanics, machinists, and maintenance technicians working in shop or field environments.

Installation Notes

Pin punches are typically used by mechanics and machinists and require a suitable ball-peen or mechanics hammer for driving. Always wear eye protection when striking punches, as metal fragments can become projectiles. Use a starter punch first to break the pin free before switching to this punch for final removal. Secure the workpiece firmly before driving to prevent movement and potential injury.
