One punch came in bent and another broke on the very first tap with a 6oz. hammmer an sent metal into my finger. The only piece of junk I've ever bought from Amazon.

Used this set for several jobs and the usefulness is great. Good selection of sizes.

SE 18-Piece Brass and Carbon Steel Pin Punch Set w/Ctr Punch. I needed some punches to disassemble my weapons for cleaning. This is a good set for gunsmithing. Not probably highest quality, buy the price is very reasonable.

this is just right for little things punchs seem to be will made and the brass ones are just right for my guns this is a good deal.

I bought this set thinking it would be perfect to put together my new AR-15 lower. 6 of the punches were bent (they were packaged in sturdy plastic wrapped up inside a box so this can't be blamed on USPS) and the smallest punches -- brass and steel -- snapped on the first hammer strike. Save yourself the grief and get a decent set of punches at a hardware store, since if you buy these you'll end up having to do it anyway.

I bought this set and noticed that one of the punches was slightly bent. I pushed on it with my finger to try to straighten it and it snapped off at the base!

I've had two punches break attempting to remedy an AR-15. This set is poorly made and served as a filler for my trashcan. They might as well been made out of clay. A regretful purchase.

But dont expect it to work great pushing any pins that are tight. I used this to push some pins from an ar-15 and bent 1 and broke another. I had to get some heavier duty, meaning not some cheap, punches to finish the project. These are ok for light work, but dont expect to hammer on them. 3 stars because you can still use them for light projects, just not heavy duty ones.

Overall this set is decent for the price you're paying. I bought this set to help install my lPK to a stripped lower. Which it did alright with no problems. Tried punching out a few pins afterwards and they seem to hold up fine. I have some doubts if they would hold up over time, but come on.. Its made in China so what do you expect? Reason why it didn't get 5 stars?

1- None of the sizes are marked on the punches, took some guess work to find out which fit where.
2- The smallest steel punch came bent.
3- Pouch was worthless, I ended up using a folded ziplock bag for storage.

Get this set if you need something quick and cheap, and you're only going to work on smaller projects. If you're try to pound on these things, I'd look else where.

cheap, will do the job, very solid tool set, i bought this for my s&w mp ar 15.22 and it did wat was intended for, fast shipping, great price.. will defenetly buy again from this seller!!
