Starrett B565G Pin Punch 1/4 Inch Brass Non-sparking

Product Description

The STARRETT B565G is a 1/4-inch brass pin punch designed for driving out pins, keys, and fasteners in mechanical assemblies without damaging surrounding components. Constructed from brass, this punch is non-sparking, making it suitable for use in environments where flammable materials or gases may be present. The overall length is 4 inches, and the grip features a knurled finish for positive hand control during use. Machinists, millwrights, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and electricians reach for brass punches when ferrous tools present a spark risk or when softer contact is needed to protect precision components.

The B565G is well suited for residential and light commercial maintenance work, including pin removal on valves, linkages, hinges, and electrical components. Its 1/4-inch tip diameter targets medium-sized pins and roll pins commonly found in mechanical and trade equipment. The 4-inch overall length provides enough leverage for controlled strikes while remaining compact enough for tight-clearance work. This punch is appropriate wherever non-sparking tooling is required by safety protocol or job-site procedure.

Key Features

• Non-sparking brass construction — safe for use near flammable vapors and gases
• 1/4-inch (6.00 mm) tip diameter for medium-sized pins and roll pins
• 4-inch overall length for leverage and control in confined spaces
• Knurled grip style reduces slippage during hammer strikes
• Lightweight at 0.15 pounds — easy to carry in a tool pouch or kit

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and general-use pin punch for applications requiring a 1/4-inch non-sparking brass punch with a 4-inch overall length.

Installation Notes

Pin punches are used by hand with a ball-peen or dead-blow hammer. Always wear eye protection when striking punches to guard against flying debris. Use a starter punch or transfer punch to break the pin loose before switching to this pin punch for full removal. Avoid using this brass punch with excessive force on hardened steel components, as brass is softer and the tip may deform.
