Proto J48014L Long Pin Punch 1/4 Inch Steel

Product Description

The PROTO J48014L is a long pin punch designed for driving out pins, rivets, and roll pins in mechanical assemblies. Built from steel, it measures 0.25 inches in diameter at the tip and 8 inches in overall length, giving technicians the reach needed to access pins seated deep within housings, shafts, and frames. The extended length reduces the need for multiple strikes in tight clearance areas. This punch is a hand-strike tool, used with a ball-peen or dead-blow hammer. It is suited for maintenance, repair, and assembly work across HVAC equipment, plumbing hardware, electrical enclosures, and general mechanical trade applications.

The J48014L fits into standard punch and chisel sets used by maintenance technicians, millwrights, and trade professionals working on mechanical fasteners and pin-retained components. The 0.25 inch tip size is one of the most common punch diameters in service work, covering a wide range of pin sizes found in motors, couplings, handles, and bracket assemblies. It is appropriate for both bench work and field service situations where pin removal or installation is required.

Key Features

• 0.25 inch tip diameter for driving standard 1/4 inch pins
• 8 inch overall length provides extended reach into deep housings and assemblies
• Steel construction for durability under repeated hammer impact
• Long-series design reduces repositioning during pin removal on recessed hardware
• Straight pin punch profile compatible with standard punch and chisel holders

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use long pin punch suitable for general mechanical trade applications requiring a 0.25 inch diameter pin punch.

Installation Notes

Use with a ball-peen hammer or dead-blow hammer rated for punch and chisel work. Ensure the workpiece is secured in a vise or on a stable surface before striking. Wear appropriate eye protection, as pin removal can project small debris. Inspect the punch tip for mushrooming or deformation before each use and dress or replace as needed.
