2.0 out of 5 stars Brass punches break with little force, December 7, 2009

I don't normally leave reviews, but felt I needed to on this one. I read all the reviews on this set, and decided for what I was going to use it for it would do the job. I used this to take my handgun apart, and when I used the smaller brass punches they snapped with ease. I also found that the punches were not up to par with the size it was supposed to be. The factory manual called for a 3/32" to remove a pin, but when I tried to use the punch supplied it wouldn't fit into the hole whatsoever. I ended up having to buy a punch set at a local hardware store. All in all you get what you pay for, and since it was only 5 bucks I wasn't going to fret over it.

Pros: For a cheap little punch set this will do the trick on small jobs that don't require too much force. The chrome punches are strong and seem to do fine.

Cons: The smaller brass punches break with little force, so be expecting it to break if you apply too much force. Some of the punch sizes are not to specifications, so they may not fit where they are supposed to fit. You can find a better set at a local hardware store for a few bucks more. Learn from my mistakes.

Thanks for reading my review,

Matt.

Even though it is Chinese, it is a low tech item. You receive what you expect. A set of nicely crafted punches.
All the sizes needed for all your gunsmith needs are there, both in steel and also in brass.

The plastic storage is also very good. I suggest to remove the paper label because it says 8PC "pouch set" instead of "punch set".

The brass punches are nice as they will not damage the finish of the steel pins in your gun.
Sizes you receive: 1/16", 3/32", 1/8" and 5/32"

This set is definitively recommended.

3.0 out of 5 stars Brass a little too soft, February 1, 2010

I bent the 1/16th punch tip just putting the cap back on the case. If you buy this set, buy a quality 1/16" brass punch. A drift pin starter punch for small sizes is a good idea also. The larger sizes should be fine.
