Starrett 52585 Pin Punch 5/16 Inch 4 Inch Oal Steel

Product Description

The STARRETT 52585 is a steel pin punch designed for driving pins, roll pins, and fasteners from bores, housings, and assemblies. The punch measures 5/16 inch in tip diameter with an overall length of 4 inches and a tip length of 1 inch. The knurled grip provides positive hand control during repeated strikes. Machinists, millwrights, mechanics, and field service technicians use this tool for press-fit pin removal and installation in mechanical, HVAC, and industrial equipment maintenance. Constructed from steel for durability under hammer impact.

This pin punch suits general-purpose maintenance tasks where controlled driving force is needed to remove or seat cylindrical pins without damaging surrounding components. Common applications include removing hinge pins, clevis pins, roll pins, and dowel pins in equipment found across HVAC systems, refrigeration units, plumbing assemblies, and light industrial machinery. The 4-inch overall length keeps the hand clear of the work surface during strikes.

Key Features

• 5/16 inch tip diameter for standard-size pin work
• 4 inch overall length with 1 inch tip length for controlled reach
• Knurled grip style for secure hold during hammer use

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose pin punch for use with any standard ball-peen or mechanics hammer in maintenance and repair applications requiring a 5/16 inch drive diameter.

Installation Notes

Use with an appropriate ball-peen or mechanics hammer rated for punch work. Always wear eye protection when striking punches, as metal fragments can be ejected. Secure the workpiece in a vise or support fixture before driving to prevent movement. Inspect the punch tip for mushrooming before each use and dress or replace as needed.
