Stanley 16-299 12 Piece Punch and Chisel Set

Product Description

The STANLEY 16-299 is a 12-piece punch and chisel set designed for metalworking, fabrication, and general mechanical service tasks. The set includes cold chisels ranging from 3/8 to 5/8 inches and punches ranging from 1/16 to 5/16 inches, covering center, pin, and starter punch types. Hex shank geometry helps prevent rolling on flat surfaces and improves grip during use. With a combined weight of 2.226 pounds, the set is compact enough for a standard tool bag or toolbox. It is a practical all-in-one punch and chisel selection for trade professionals working in HVAC, plumbing, electrical, or general mechanical applications.

This set is suited for residential and commercial service environments where punching, driving, and cold-chiseling tasks are routine. The variety of punch sizes covers common pin removal and layout marking needs, while the cold chisels handle cutting and shaping soft metals. Typical install scenarios include panel work, pipe fitting, and structural disassembly tasks where multiple punch and chisel sizes are required on a single job.

Installation Notes

Always use a ball-peen or engineer's hammer rated for striking hardened tools when driving punches or chisels. Wear appropriate eye protection at all times, as metal chips and fragments can be ejected during use. Inspect each tool for mushrooming or cracking at the strike end before use, and dress or replace any damaged tools. Do not use a claw hammer or framing hammer as a striking tool with hardened punches or chisels.
