Proto J48316LS2 Long Pin Punch 3/16 Inch S2 Steel

Product Description

The PROTO J48316LS2 is a long pin punch machined from S2 steel for use in heavy-duty driving and removal tasks in trade and industrial maintenance environments. It features a 3/16-inch punch tip diameter and an 8-inch overall length, giving technicians the reach needed to drive roll pins, clevis pins, and similar fasteners in confined or deep-set applications. The S2 steel construction provides high impact resistance and toughness under repeated hammer blows, making it a reliable choice for mechanics, millwrights, and maintenance technicians working in HVAC equipment, electrical panels, pump assemblies, and general mechanical systems.

This long pin punch is suited for residential and commercial maintenance applications where standard-length punches lack the reach to seat or remove pins cleanly. The 8-inch overall length falls within the 7 to 9.9-inch range category, making it appropriate for driving pins through thicker assemblies or accessing recessed pin locations in machinery, motors, and mechanical linkages. It is sold individually and is a direct addition to any professional punch set.

Key Features

• 3/16-inch punch tip diameter for precision pin driving and removal
• 8-inch overall length for extended reach in deep or confined access points
• S2 steel construction for high impact toughness and durability under repeated hammer strikes
• Compact cross-section at 0.3 inches height and 0.3 inches width for tight clearance work
• Lightweight at 0.17 pounds for reduced hand fatigue during extended use

Compatibility

Designed as a standard long pin punch for general mechanical and trade maintenance use where a 3/16-inch tip diameter and 8-inch reach are required.

Installation Notes

Pin punches are driven with a hammer and should be used by mechanics, millwrights, or maintenance technicians familiar with proper striking technique. Always ensure the workpiece is secured before driving or removing pins. Eye protection is required when using any punch tool. Do not use this punch as a pry bar or chisel, as off-axis loading can damage the tip or shank.
