FAQs
What is the primary material of the punch?
The punch is made from high-quality industrial-grade steel forged in a one-piece construction for maximum durability.
Can I use this for driving out larger than 3mm pins?
No, using the tool on pins larger than 3mm may cause the tool to bend or the tip to fail.
What is the hardness rating of this tool?
This drift punch features a hardness rating of 48-56 HRC.
How do I maintain the tool's performance?
Store in a dry place and remove any burrs from the striking head using a file to ensure effective impact transfer.
Is this tool suitable for heavy prying?
No, drift punches are designed for striking only; using them for prying can cause the steel to fracture.
Troubleshooting
Punch tip slipping off the pin
Ensure the punch is centered and held perfectly perpendicular to the pin before applying force.
Striking head showing mushrooming
Regularly dress the striking end with a metal file to keep it flat and prevent chipping.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Expert By Facom Drift Punch, inspect the striking head and the tip before each use. If the striking end develops burrs over time, use a fine-grit file to maintain a flat, smooth surface to prevent energy loss during impact. This tool is compatible with most standard pin-driving applications within its 3mm diameter threshold. Always store the tool in a dry, ventilated toolbox or shadow board to prevent corrosion. For maintenance, a light coat of machine oil can be applied to the shaft if working in humid environments, though the tool is naturally resistant to wear when handled properly.
