Proto J48316 Super Duty Pin Punch 3/16 Inch Steel

Product Description

The PROTO J48316 is a super duty pin punch designed for driving out roll pins, dowel pins, and similar fasteners in heavy-use shop and field environments. Built from steel, the J48316 measures 3/16 inch in punch diameter with an overall length of 5.25 inches, making it suitable for both close-quarters work and standard bench use. Licensed trade professionals and industrial mechanics rely on this type of punch for alignment, assembly, and disassembly tasks where a standard punch would deform or fail under repeated hammer blows.

The J48316 is intended for general mechanical service work including automotive, heavy equipment, and industrial machinery applications. The 3/16 inch tip size targets common roll pin and dowel pin diameters found throughout drivetrain, hydraulic, and structural assemblies. It is equally at home in a fleet shop, manufacturing floor, or field service truck.

Compatibility

Designed as a super duty pin punch for general mechanical service use where a 3/16 inch drive diameter is required.

Installation Notes

Pin punches are installed by mechanics, machinists, and equipment technicians using a ball-peen or dead-blow hammer. Always wear eye protection and secure the workpiece before striking. Inspect the punch tip before use and do not use a punch with a mushroomed or cracked strike face. Never use a pin punch as a pry bar or chisel.
