Whether you are a professional or amateur gunsmith, you are going to need punches. There was a time in the past when only “standard” punches were used in the manufacture of firearms. Now, with modern manufacturing techniques, we have a mix of roll punches and standard punches. So, back to our opening sentence.... you need punches and we recommend that you “bite the bullet” and purchase both of the Real Avid kits outlined here. It is better to have the punches and not need them, than need them and not have them. Kind of like having an “excess” of ammunition.... no such thing as excess ammo.

The Standard Pin Accu-Punch Set includes the following:

Gunsmithing hammer with rubberized, ergonomic grip

4 Interchangeable hammer heads: rubber, brass, steel, nylon

Standard Steel punches: 1/16”, 5/56”, 3/32”, 1/8”, 9/64”, 5/32”, 3/16”, 7/32”, 1/4”, 9/32”

Non-marring finishing punch

Pin Alignment tool

The Roll Pin Accu-Punch Set includes the following:

Gunsmithing hammer with rubberized, ergonomic grip

4 Interchangeable hammer heads: rubber, brass, steel, nylon

Roll Pin Steel Punches: 1/16”, 5/64”, 3/32”, 1/8”, 9/64”, 5/32”, 3/16”, 7/32”, 1/4”

Non-marring finishing punch

Pin Alignment tool

All of the punches are made of hardened steel with nickle-plating to resist corrosion, as well as hex-shaped handles with rubber O-rings for precise control. And the proprietary pin alignment tool is really awesome.... no more lost or dropped pins. And everything comes organized in a stand up case for ease of access. Someone asked, what will they do with the additional hammer, if they purchased both kits. We put one in our range bag, as it is not unusual for something to require a little tap. Both sets have an MSRP of $39.99. You can find them online for a bit less if you look. We got them both and have never regretted the decision.
