Stanley 16-233 Pin Punch 3/16 Inches

Product Description

The STANLEY 16-233 is a 3/16-inch pin punch designed for driving roll pins, drift pins, and tapered pins out of assemblies during mechanical disassembly and maintenance work. Pin punches of this type transmit direct impact force from a hammer to a pin without spreading or deforming the punch tip, making them a standard hand tool on any service bench. The 16-233 weighs 0.17 pounds, keeping it light for repeated use. Licensed tradespeople and skilled mechanics reach for pin punches whenever press-fit or pinned fasteners must be removed cleanly from shafts, hinges, linkages, and equipment housings.

This punch is sized at 3/16 inches, a common diameter for roll pins found in HVAC equipment linkages, plumbing valve stems, electrical panel components, and general mechanical assemblies. It is sold individually and is suited for bench work in light industrial, commercial, and residential service environments where controlled pin removal is required without damaging surrounding components or bores.

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose 3/16-inch pin punch suitable for removing roll pins and drift pins across a wide range of mechanical assemblies and equipment types.

Installation Notes

Pin punch work should be performed by a qualified mechanic or service technician familiar with proper hammer and punch technique. Always support the workpiece securely in a vise or on a solid surface before striking. Wear appropriate eye protection, as driven pins and metal fragments can become projectiles during removal. Never use a pin punch as a chisel or pry tool, as this can damage the tip and create unsafe conditions.
