Proto J48732LS2 Long Pin Punch 7/32 Inch S2 Steel

Product Description

The PROTO J48732LS2 is a long pin punch machined from S2 steel, designed for driving pins, roll pins, and dowels in close-tolerance assemblies. At 7/32 inch in diameter and 8 inches overall length, this punch gives technicians the reach needed to remove stubborn fasteners in confined spaces without damaging surrounding components. The S2 tool steel construction resists impact deformation and holds its tip geometry through repeated hammer strikes. It is a standard hand tool used across mechanical trades including HVAC service, pipefitting, electrical panel work, and general industrial maintenance.

This punch is suited for light to medium duty pin-driving tasks in both field service and shop environments. The 7/32 inch tip size addresses common pin and roll-pin diameters found in motors, linkages, valve assemblies, and electrical enclosures. Its 8-inch length provides clearance in recessed bores or deep housings where a standard-length punch would bottom out before the pin is fully seated or removed.

Key Features

• S2 tool steel construction resists chipping and tip deformation under repeated impact
• 7/32 inch punch diameter for precise fitment on common pin and roll-pin sizes
• 8 inch overall length provides extended reach in deep or recessed work areas
• Compact profile — 0.4 inches height and 0.4 inches width — for use in tight clearances
• Lightweight at 0.22 pounds for extended single-hand use without fatigue

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose long pin punch compatible with any application requiring a 7/32 inch diameter punch tip, including motor shaft pins, linkage dowels, and roll-pin removal in mechanical and electromechanical assemblies.

Installation Notes

Pin punches are installed by hand tool mechanics and trade technicians. Always secure the workpiece in a vise or fixture before striking. Use a ball-peen or mechanics hammer of appropriate weight for the application — avoid sledge or framing hammers on precision punches. Wear ANSI-rated eye protection any time a punch is struck, as metal fragments can eject from the work surface.
