The Mayhew Steel 3/32-Inch Starting Punch covers the next size up in Mayhew’s starting punch lineup, built for pins slightly larger than the 1/16-inch size handles. Mayhew Steel shapes this punch with the same stout, break-loose tip design as the rest of its starting punch line, giving it enough mass and a broad enough striking face to free a tightly-pressed pin without mushrooming the pin head on the first hit. Once the pin has broken loose and started moving, a matching 3/32-inch pin punch typically takes over to finish driving it clear. It’s a straightforward size upgrade for larger roll pins and solid pins on triggers, sights, and small parts.

Key Specifications
