Proto J48532LS2 Long Pin Punch 5/32 Inch S2 Steel

Product Description

The PROTO J48532LS2 is a long pin punch manufactured from S2 steel, designed for driving pins, roll pins, and dowels in mechanical assemblies. With a 5/32-inch punch tip and an 8-inch overall length, it delivers the reach and force transfer needed for press-fit removal and installation in confined or deep-set locations. The S2 tool steel construction provides impact resistance and edge retention under repeated hammer blows. This punch is a standard hand tool used by mechanics, millwrights, and field technicians across industrial and trade applications.

The J48532LS2 is suited for punching out roll pins, drift pins, and hinge pins in equipment where standard-length punches lack the reach. The extended 8-inch length is practical for deep housings, gear cases, and structural assemblies. It fits into general mechanical work, HVAC equipment service, pump and motor maintenance, and fabrication shop use where a 5/32-inch drive punch is required.

Key Features

• 5/32-inch punch tip diameter for precise pin engagement
• 8-inch overall length provides extended reach into deep assemblies
• S2 tool steel construction resists impact and deformation under hammer use
• Long pin punch profile reduces deflection during driving
• Single-piece construction with no moving parts

Compatibility

Designed as a standard long pin punch for general mechanical and trade use wherever a 5/32-inch punch is required for pin removal or installation tasks.

Installation Notes

A licensed mechanic, millwright, or experienced technician should select the correct punch diameter to match the pin being driven. Always use a ball-peen or engineer's hammer rated for use with punch tools. Secure the workpiece firmly before striking to prevent movement or injury. Wear appropriate eye protection when using any punch or drift tool.
