FAQs
What types of punches are included in this set?
The set includes 6mm and 8mm Center Punches, a 2mm Tapered Punch, and multiple sizes of Pin Punches (1.5mm, 3mm, 4mm, 5mm, 6mm, 8mm).
What are the sizes of the cold chisels included?
The set includes three cold chisels with working widths of 10mm, 12mm, and 16mm.
What material are the punches and chisels made from?
They are manufactured from hardened and tempered chrome vanadium steel for strength and durability.
Can these tools be used for heavy-duty demolition work?
While durable, these tools are designed for precision metalworking, marking, and cutting tasks. For heavy demolition, specialized tools would be more appropriate.
How should I clean and maintain the tools?
Clean with a dry cloth after use, lightly oil for storage, and keep them in a dry place to prevent rust.
Is the plastic tray durable enough for regular transport?
The plastic tray provides basic organization and is suitable for light transport. For frequent or rough transport, consider a more robust tool storage solution.
What is the primary benefit of hardened tips?
Hardened tips resist wear and deformation, ensuring accuracy and longevity when striking or cutting materials.
Troubleshooting
Tool chipping or deforming prematurely
Ensure you are using the correct tool for the material and task. Avoid striking the tool with excessive force or using it on materials harder than intended. Inspect for existing damage.
Rust appearing on tools
Clean the tools thoroughly and apply a light coat of oil to all metal surfaces. Store in a dry environment.
Difficulty removing pins with pin punch
Ensure the punch is correctly aligned with the pin. Use a hammer of appropriate size and strike with controlled force. If the pin is seized, consider a penetrating oil.
