The Starrett S248 set includes five extended length drive pin punches with an 8" overall length, 3-1/2" long pin, and 1/8", 3/16", 1/4", 5/16", and 3/8" pin diameter sizes to push pins and rivets into or out of a workpiece. The extra-long drive pin section provides greater reach in recessed areas, which makes it suitable for machine shop and motor service work. Each punch is made from hardened and tempered steel, which provides wear resistance and strength. The round shanks are knurled for grip.
Pin punches are used to insert or knock out rivets and pins in assemblies. They have a metal shank on one end and a metal pin driver on the other, and are typically tapped with a hammer.
The L.S. Starrett Company manufactures precision measuring tools, metrology and testing equipment, and saw blade products. The company, founded in 1880, is headquartered in Athol, MA.
