## Description

Product Description The Starrett S565PC is an eight-piece steel drive pin punch set that is used to drive pins into or out of a workpiece. The set includes pin punches with the following diameters: 1/16", 3/32", 1/8", 5/32", 3/16", 7/32", 1/4", and 5/16". Each pin punch is made from hardened, tempered steel and has a knurled finger grip. Each measures 4” in length and has its diameter stamped on the head. The set comes in a protective vinyl case with labeled pockets for organization. Pin punches are used to place or knock out pins and rivets in workpieces, where they are frequently used to attach a part to a rotating shaft. They have a cylindrical body to hold and drive the smaller diameter, flat-ended tip into the workpiece.The L.S. Starrett Company manufactures precision measuring tools, metrology and testing equipment, and saw blade products. The company was founded in 1880 and is headquartered in Athol, MA.

Review: Well worth it. - Please don't laugh (I'm new, but learning fast), but I had never heard of Starrett until last year when I ran across a reference in a product review on another website (something like, "It's no Starrett."). After researching further and not finding one negative comment about Starrett, I decided to invest the extra money in this punch set. No regrets, baby! This is a super high quality set. Nice and solid, with some weight to it. Knurled handles for easy gripping. If you want a cheap no-name (probably Chinese) punch set from someplace like CheaperThanDirt for $10, then fine, more power to you; but as someone having just come from that and ending up frustrated & angry because the dang things bend and break in two when trying to remove a simple pin from a firearm--not to mention scratching the finish when it does--my advice is to save your money, bide your time, and invest wisely in something that'll last a lifetime and do the job. This Starrett set is just the ticket. Update (2/7/14): I love this set, and it still gets my highest 5-star recommendation. However, the 1/16" punch has bent/broke on a couple of occasions and required replacement. If I remember correctly, I believe the two culprits were (1) the safety lever pins on the Beretta 92/96 and (2) the sear pin on a Taurus M66 revolver. In both cases, the pins were in very tight (the Taurus pin is staked) and required a good whack to loosen. In any case, it was a minor setback, and no harm done. I now keep spares of the 1/16" punch on hand in case something like this ever happens again. [Ironically, I haven't had a problem since I ordered spares!] This is a great punch set!
Review: A good set - A good set that will last you a lifetime, and no PRC present.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: what is the warranty??**
A: According to Starrett: "The warranty on our precision tools is one year from the date of purchase against  defects in workmanship and material."

**Q: Is this unit 1.5mm or 1/16th inch? Listed as both but 1/16th inch is actually 1.587 and will be too big for 1.5mm pins ???**
A: Old question but as of early 2021 they are 1.5mm (actually .0597 on a mic...1.516mm) at the tip and are correctly slightly relieved for the rest of the length (.0565).  If those pins are accurate you may need to look at a quality watchmaker's punch which would do ok as long as the fit isn't too terribly snug or frozen (center punch can be used to get it started...smarter approach, too).  This was a replacement for one I got in the 90s but I never bothered to measure that old one.

**Q: The picture is for a set of punches but the description is only for an 1/8" punch.  What will the buyer receive?**
A: One only for that price. The 1/8" is the third smallest in the set shown (approx. 2 o'clock position). It is cheaper to purchase entire set if you think you may need them all.

**Q: what kind of "hardened steel" are used for these punches?**
A: Tool steel.  Believe its d2 grade but wont 100% swear to it.
