Lyman4-Piece Roll Pin Punch Set, Steel

These are by far the best roll punches I have ever seen/ used and let me just tell you they're tough as Nails I will never purchase any other brand again if I EVER wear these out!

I can’t say how long these will last, my gunsmith needs are minimal for my personal firearms. I am not a gunsmith but I do work on my personal firearms. I like the brand have other products that are well made that is why I chose these. They are pricey but you want to buy the best you can.

I made the mistake of buying some cheap roll pin punches on another website. They bent easily and were thicker than the stated size, making it difficult to work on my build (it actually got stuck and had to be forcibly removed using other tools). I bought these Lyman roll pin punches to replace the cheaper inaccurate tools I initially bought. The Lyman roll pin punches were TRUE to the stated size and have not yet bent as they are very strong and well made. I can tell that these are much better quality both visually and while handling them compared to the cheap punches I initially bought. Don't make the same mistake I did. Buy quality punches like these Lyman roll pin punches from the get go and save yourself the wasted money, time, and loss of sanity. From the research I've done, Lyman appears to make quality products. They are precision, well-built tools, and I highly recommend them.

This was a PERFECT set to assemble my AR15 Rifle. I liked the fact they are solid punches and I Really liked that they have a very skinny handle which helps for tight spots. When installing the bolt catch release lever you tap in roll pin basically sideways and almost flush with the lower receivers frame and other punches with large handle brings you punching motion in at an angle .... these have a slim handle to you are perfectly horizontal with the roll pin as you tap it in which makes for an effortless punch of that specific pin (and thats the one that really is the pain and these made that easy). They are a little pricey but great punches for the need I had really.

I've bought cheap Chinese punch sets in the past and only the thickest ones survived. Having different firearms each with their own size pins, having reliable small diameter punches is a big deal and these haven't buckled yet. They're Lyman, so.... yeah, they're good.

I read all the reviews for the other punch sets on amazon and desided on this one. The smallest punch bent installing a bolt catch on my AR but it did not break and kept on working. I don't think it could take another round though. The rest of the punches are solid.

I WAS LOOKING FOR A GOOD PUNCH SET FOR THE AR AND I FOUND THESE ON AMAZON. I HAVE OTHER PUNCHES BUT THEY ARE ETHER TO BIG TO SMALL TO SOFT OR TO HARD. THIS SET OF PUNCHES ARE THE TICKET. I HAVE USED ALL OF THEM WITH NO PROBLEMS. THEY ARE HARD BUT NOT BRITTLE. I'VE USED ALL KINDS OF PUNCHES BUT FOR THE ROLL PINS IN THE AR THESE WORK GREAT. THE PRICE IS'NT BAD ETHER.

I purchased this set as a what the liberals like to call a "gun nut". I would just say "hobbyist gunsmith", but I do a LOT of work on guns. This set has served me well. It is tough, and does the job.Don't use regular punches on roll pins, you need these instead!

All pieces have a slight bend in them, otherwise good quality
