The Mayhew Steel 1/16-Inch Starting Punch is the first tool reached for when a roll pin or solid pin needs to come out of a firearm’s frame or receiver. Mayhew Steel shapes this starting punch with a stout tip built to break a pin free from a tight press fit without deforming the pin’s head, which a pin punch’s finer tip isn’t meant to do. Once the pin has started moving, a matching pin punch typically finishes driving it the rest of the way through. Ships as a single punch, sized to 1/16 inch for the smaller pins found on triggers, sights, and small accessory mounts.
