The NCStar Essential Gunsmith Tool Kit (brand part no. TGSETK) is a single-case collection built to cover the everyday punch, driver, and disassembly jobs a home gunsmith runs into. Made by NCStar, it bundles roll pin punches, jeweler’s screwdrivers, a mallet, and a full driver bit set so most routine detail-strip and reassembly work stays organized in one kit. It’s sized for a bench or range bag and works across handguns, rifles, and shotguns alike.

Key Specifications

• A dual-head mallet with nylon and brass faces protects finishes when driving pins or seating parts.
• The 6-piece jeweler’s screwdriver set covers #0 and #1 Phillips plus 1.4mm to 3.0mm flat blades for small optics and sight screws.
• An 8-piece steel punch set spans roll pin, drift, and center punches from 3/32-inch to 1/4-inch for pin work.
• A matching 5-piece brass punch set (1/8 to 5/16-inch) lets you drive pins without marring steel components.
• The 6-piece polymer punch set is sized for finished surfaces where even brass is too hard.
• A 30-piece 1/4-inch screw bit set covers flat, Phillips, hex, and Torx profiles for nearly every screw on a modern firearm.
• The 4-inch nylon gunsmith bench block supports a frame or slide while you drive pins.
• A needle nose plier and triangle mill file are included for small-parts work and light fitting.
• Included safety glasses and a 1/4-inch hex-to-socket adapter round the kit out for bench safety and torque work.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this kit enough for a first-time home gunsmith, or just a supplement? It’s built as a stand-alone starter set — the punch, driver, and bench block coverage handles most routine detail work without buying separate tools.

Will the punches mar a blued or stainless finish? The kit includes brass and polymer punches specifically so you can avoid steel-on-steel contact on a finished part.

Does it include bits for optics and sight screws, not just pin work? Yes, the jeweler’s screwdriver set is sized down to 1.4mm for the small screws common on sights and optic mounts.
