The Starrett SB565Z is an eight-piece brass drive pin punch set to drive pins into or out of a work piece. The set is in a fabric case, and includes pin punches with the following diameters: 1/16", 3/32", 1/8", 5/32", 3/16", 7/32", 1/4", and 5/16". Each pin punch is made from brass, for use with surfaces that could be damaged by harder steel punches. Pin punches are used to place or knock out loosened pins and rivets from workpieces, where they are frequently used to attach something to a rotating shaft. They have a cylindrical body to hold and drive the smaller diameter, flat-ended tip into the workpiece.
The L.S. Starrett Company manufactures precision measuring tools, metrology and testing equipment, and saw blade products. The company was founded in 1880 and is headquartered in Athol, MA.

Starrett, la référence en terme de fabricant de chasse goupilles made in USA.Utilisés pour la maintenance d'armes. Le laiton a pour qualité de ne pas marquer au contact d'objets métalliques.

En tant que tireur sportif, un jeu de chasse-goupilles en laiton (qui ne raye pas les métaux durs) fait partie de l'outillage indispensable. Si vous cherchez ce qui se fait de mieux, ne cherchez plus: c'est Starrett.Fabriqués par une petite société Américaine spécialisée dans l'outillage de précision, Starrett ne fait que des produits hors-pair. Ils sont impeccablement fabriqués, la finition est parfaite et ça respire la qualité.Attention, si vous les utilisez pour la mainetnance des armes à feu, pensez à vous offir également un jeu de chasse-goupille Starrett EN ACIER, c'est indispensable dans les cas ou le laiton est trop mou et risque se tordre.

Top quality drifts.These were perfect for dismantling my air rifle for maintenance where I did not want to dent the steel or damage the Bluing.They should sit in your tool kit between your steel drifts and your wooden dowling rods.

Decent brass punches for the price. I use it to remove and install night sights on pistols. The punch will start to chip if it is hit too hard with the hammer so you may have to use a sight pro remover if the punch is not able to move the sights. Yes I would recommend this product.

Already used it to replace a sight on a handgun. Working on replacing a rifle trigger next. Great product. Solid construction. I really appreciate the nylon case because it keeps them well protected and all in one place. Not that it matters, but also labeled with the size of each. Not cheap, but I don't think you would be disappointed.

I bought both Starrett's steel and brass drive pin punch sets. Both are very nice. Its been a while since I've bought tools that didn't look like they came out of a slave labor camp in China.I bought both sets for working on guns and I wanted a second steel set for the garage. So, I purchased two of the S565WB and one of the SB565Z (which came in a pouch). Upon arrival I swapped the brass set into one of the red plastic counter top cases and the extra steel punches into the pouch. Pouch works nicely in my tool bag in my truck and the red counter top cases are perfect on my bench.

I purchased this punch set to be able to work on my firearms without fear of damaging them. This is not a tool you are going to use on an everyday basis but when you do need it, you need it. I have not had a chance to punch anything with these yet but there is not alot that can go wrong with them. They are brass punches so of course they are soft and if you break them you probably should have been using steel ones.They came packaged well, the storage pouch is well made and holds the punches quite securely. As others have noted they will leave brass filing all over your hands when you touch them at first, I would attribute this to the knurling on the handles. Just take them all out and blow them off with a blowgun. All of the punches I received were perfectly straight and clearly well machined. You can tell they are a quality made tool just by the look and feel of them. To be honest I would hate to ding them up by hammering on them but that is what they are for.The price is not cheap to be sure. But if you take care of them and use them as intended I expect they would easily last a lifetime unless you are a professional gunsmith and use them on a daily basis. Very happy with this starrett purchase. If you ever have to work on your firearms I would highly recommend this set. If you scratch or ding up a gun worth $1000+ using steel punches you are going to wish you just paid the 50 bucks and got these instead!*Edit 9-10-2013*Since I received this punch set I have found myself using them quite often. I keep them in my gun cleaning/range bag and use them to take apart and clean my AR rifle. Perfect sizes for pushing out pins and such. I also did use them to punch out a couple of things as well and they have proven to be more useful than I originally anticipated. When changing out a trigger guard I did slightly mushroom the top on one of the punches, I admit, they were not the correct tool for the job of punching out a roll pin but did just fine and the soft brass was easily reshaped with a couple taps of the brass hammer. They are soft for a reason!!! Still very pleased!

"$50 for a set of PUNCHES? For REAL?!?!?" So I said when the reviews pointed me to these things. I'm a harbor-freight-tool-auto-guy, usually not interested in punches that are non-marring or whatever- but these things are indispensable for all things drift and punch related on firearms. I couldn't even consider R&R'ing my sights and taking apart my new guns without these. Granted, I invested $50 in these things, what am I going to say other than convince myself that it was a good idea? It is cheaper than buying each one individually, and after reading about the quality of other punches, I'm pretty sure that these were worth the $. I've used these several times, no signs of bendage and/or breakage, but I am VERY careful with them, especially with the tiny 1/16".

If you've found these on Amazon chances are you're part of the tribe and appreciate nice tools. I bought these for a precision firearms project after suffering with cheap punch sets from HF, made the job so much more enjoyable. With free shipping and no tax, these babies are worth every penny even if you only use them once or twice a year as I do. Compare the price on these shipped to your door after a few mouse clicks and shuffling from the couch to the fridge vs. driving around and then buying a not so nice set at a chain store, and well, these start making a lot of sense.The shafts are very nicely knurled and the punch tips are precisely squared off and sturdy. Punches feel nice in the hand and work well. You'd have to break a sweat to hurt one of these, I can see. I've bent my share of HF punches but that's not saying much.The cordura flat case doesn't really blow my hair back like the upright plastic holder that the steel version of these punches comes in since I work at a bench, but you can't have it all I guess. Someday I'd like to get the same plastic case for these as the steel set comes with, much easier to grab and move around on a bench and see what you're doing when selecting sizes.Overall, these are well worth the money for good tools. Buy once, cry once. Life's too short to drink cheap booze or buy cheap tools as my buddy Matt with Eight Fingers always says.
