Grace USAGrace USA Gun Care Brass Pin Punch Set

I have driven out some firmly set roll pins, and the punch have stayed true - no bending or deforming. Each has a raised dimple at the end to help fit into the roll pin so the punch does not slide; plus, the extra long shaft makes in much easier to drive the pin all the way out instead of having to use pliers to finish the job. I wish I would have ordered these punches years ago I would be nice if Amazon would prioritize the search function to put made in USA products first - especially when you type "made in USA" in the search parameters.

Used this set and the Grace Roll Spring (Pin) Holder Set RSH-5 for the first time today. Solid product.

Very high quality punches for the price. Measurements are very accurate which helped me avoid scratches when servicing my equipment. The punches are quite heavy which can sometimes be an indicator of quality. They function/grip really well both with your hands and your hammer. The only negative/con I can think of is that they are packaged in a very sticky/slimy preservative which was an unpleasant surprise on first time use. I'd recommend wiping them down with shop towels before use.

Excellent quality. Worked perfect on my rifles roll pins. Made in U.S.A.

I use these for kinda delicate work but even with that I have bent a few of them. As an example: one of them was bent drifting a dovetailed sight. I would probably buy these again since there is almost zero chance of hurting what you are working on since the metal of these is so soft.

I've had these punches for about 6 years, so I think I can write a fair review of them. First off, the case they come in is alright if you're going to be using them every day. Not the most durable, but serviceable. For occasional use, though, I think it's perfect as it doesn't take up much space in a toolbox versus a hard plastic case. The punches themselves are of good quality. A note for someone not used to working with roll pins: buy a steel roll pin punch set to free up stuck pins. These are brass, so if you hammer hard on them to loosen a stuck pin, they will deform. That's what they're designed to do to avoid marring the finish of whatever you're working on. As for the company, Grace USA is an American company offering a good product for a fair price, something that's getting harder to come by. Their customer service is outstanding as well. My 1/8" punch had deformed to the point I couldn't get it through a correspondingly sized hole, so I emailed them asking where I could buy a replacement. The next day, I had an email from the president of the company asking for my address so they could send me a new one, free of charge. No warranty card or anything. That's standing behind your product. I ended up purchasing another set of their punches for a different project based on that experience. I hope this was helpful for someone.

I probably did what everyone else has done, bought a cheap set of roll punches, hated them, and then bought these. Save yourself some grief and some money, buy these first. They are tough, have an accurate diameter, and are much more resistant to bending. Given that they are hardened, there's less flex in the shaft of the small punches. This is very important when driving out small diameter roll pins: Since the punch isn't flexing with every hammer tap, more energy is going to the driving force on the pin (instead of bending the shaft of the punch). This makes it easier to drive out those tough, small pins. These are high quality hardened steel. I'm sure you could spend more and get something even better, but for the majority of the work I do with guns and small machines these work extremely well for me. I'm sure you will like them.

Ok set, way more than I needed, the shame is I've already bent 2 of them. I did not abuse those that bent. Not a good value for the cost
