## Overview

## Description

The Starrett 565A drive pin punch has a 4" overall length with a 9/16" pin length and 1/16" pin diameter to push pins and rivets into or out of a workpiece. The punch is made from hardened and tempered steel components that provide wear resistance and strength. It has a round shank, which is knurled for grip. Pin punches are used to insert or knock out rivets and pins in assemblies. They have a metal shank on one end and a metal pin driver on the other, and are typically tapped with a hammer.The L.S. Starrett Company manufactures precision measuring tools, metrology and testing equipment, and saw blade products. The company, founded in 1880, is headquartered in Athol, MA.

Review: Good punch - It will bend but is still better than other 1/16" punches. Had a very stubborn pin to drive out, went through 2 other punches without any result, finally got it out with the Starrett. The Starrett did bend but I cut it shorter, so now have a short, sturdy 1/16" punch.
Review: The best gunsmithing punches out there - I do gun repair for a living, 1/16 punches break/bend often so I have tried a lot of them hoping to find a less expensive one that will work right. Save yourself some time looking around and just buy these if you want a punch that will stay straight. They have really done the legwork to find the correct metal/heat treating to make a really great punch. I tried some other US made 1/16 punches recently, as well as some foreign tekton and they all bent extremely easily, you could not punch out a pin that had any sort of resistance without them bending. So I bought the starrett 1/16 and repeatedly can punch out the same exact pin with no bending. For this pin size especially, the higher priced starrett is cheaper than the competition, because it will easily last 3-4 times as long. These punches have good geometry/knurling and are a pleasure to use. After realizing the difference in starrett vs other brand punches recently I looked through my drawer of punches, every single one that looked "old" (in other words every one that had lasted a while) was a starrett brand. Many of the other brand punches had bent and were rebent back straight, all the starretts were unbent. Only one starret in the drawer had ever broken and that was an old 1/16" punch converted to a pin punch, still going strong in that regard. I'm done trying out junk and will only buy starrett punches from now on. The only exception might be a larger diameter punch that I plan to use incorrectly as a tool to turn something, in that case the softer cheap ones might be a better choice.

Clearly a high quality tool. Unlike 2 others I used recently, it didn't bend on a tight pin.
