Proto J48014 Super Duty Pin Punch 1/4 in Steel

Product Description

The PROTO J48014 is a super duty pin punch designed for driving out pins, bolts, and rivets in industrial and mechanical assembly work. Built from steel, it features a 0.25-inch punch tip diameter and an overall length of 5.75 inches, placing it in the compact-to-mid-range size class suited for close-quarters work. The punch is designed to absorb repeated hammer strikes without deforming, making it appropriate for heavy-duty shop, field, and maintenance applications. Machinists, millwrights, and mechanical technicians are the primary users for this type of hand tool.

This pin punch is used wherever precision driving of pins is required, including gear and shaft disassembly, hinge pin removal, and fixture alignment work. Its 0.25-inch tip accommodates standard pin sizes common across automotive, industrial, and general mechanical service applications. The 5.75-inch overall length provides adequate handle clearance when working in partially obstructed assemblies.

Key Features

• 0.25-inch punch tip diameter for standard pin driving applications
• 5.75-inch overall length for clearance in confined work areas
• Steel construction for durability under repeated impact
• Super duty rating for heavy-duty shop and field use
• Single-piece per package, sold individually

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 0.25-inch pin punch suitable for use in mechanical assembly, disassembly, and maintenance work where a 0.25-inch tip diameter and approximately 5.75-inch overall length are required.

Installation Notes

Use with an appropriate ball-peen or engineer's hammer rated for punch work. Always wear eye protection when driving punches, as metal fragments can dislodge. Ensure the workpiece is properly supported before striking to prevent movement or damage to surrounding components. Inspect the punch tip before each use and remove from service if deformation or mushrooming is present.
