Klein Tools 3261 Barrel Drift Pin 8 X 13/16 X 7/16 Inches

Product Description

The KLEIN TOOLS 3261 is a barrel drift pin designed for aligning bolt holes in structural steel, flanges, and heavy equipment assemblies during fabrication and installation work. The tapered point allows a technician to start alignment by hand before driving the pin through misaligned holes to bring them into register. At 8 inches in overall length, with a maximum barrel diameter of 13/16 inches and a point diameter of 7/16 inches, this pin is sized for medium-duty structural alignment tasks. Ironworkers, millwrights, and pipefitters rely on barrel drift pins as a standard hand tool on bolted connections.

This drift pin is suited for structural steel erection, pipe flange alignment, equipment base-plate installation, and similar bolted-joint assembly work encountered on commercial and industrial job sites. The barrel design provides a grip surface for driving with a hammer and for extracting the pin once fasteners are started. It is appropriate for both field erection crews and shop fabrication environments where consistent hole alignment is required before permanent fasteners are installed.

Key Features

• 8-inch overall length provides reach for deep flange and structural member alignment
• 13/16-inch maximum barrel diameter sized for standard structural bolt-hole patterns
• 7/16-inch point diameter allows entry into partially misaligned holes
• Barrel profile gives a positive grip surface for hammer driving and manual extraction
• Lightweight at 0.85 pounds for extended overhead and elevated work

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose structural alignment drift pin suitable for bolted steel connections, pipe flanges, and equipment mounting applications where hole alignment is required prior to fastener installation.

Installation Notes

Drift pins are driven and extracted using a hammer; always wear appropriate eye and hand protection when striking. Never use a drift pin as a permanent fastener or load-bearing element. Inspect the pin before each use and remove from service if the barrel or point shows cracks, bending, or deformation. Follow applicable OSHA and site safety requirements for structural erection and bolted-connection work.
