Starrett 52587 Pin Punch Set 8 Pc 1/16 to 5/16 in

Product Description

The STARRETT 52587 is an 8-piece long drive pin punch set designed for driving out roll pins, taper pins, and dowel pins in mechanical assemblies. Built from steel with a round shank profile, this set covers a size range of 1/16 inch through 5/16 inch, giving technicians the range needed to handle the most common pin sizes encountered in the field. Each punch features a long drive style, providing the extended reach required when working in recessed or confined areas. The set ships in a vinyl pouch that keeps all eight punches organized and protected on the job. Machinists, mechanics, and maintenance professionals rely on this set for disassembly and reassembly work on shafts, gears, and housings.

This pin punch set is suited for use in industrial maintenance, mechanical repair shops, and general fabrication environments. It handles tasks that require controlled driving force without damaging surrounding components. The range of eight punch sizes allows a single pouch to cover most standard pin removal and installation jobs without switching between separate sets. It is appropriate for both bench work and field service applications where compact tool storage matters.

Installation Notes

Pin punches are installed and used by machinists, maintenance mechanics, and millwrights. Before driving any pin, ensure the workpiece is secured in a vise or supported fixture to prevent movement during impact. Always use a ball-peen or machinist hammer sized appropriately for the punch diameter being driven. Inspect punch tips for mushrooming or deformation before use and dress or replace damaged punches to avoid tool failure during the task.
