Product Information
Full details
The Facom 249.GJ7 7-piece parallel pin punch set is designed for professional mechanics and industrial technicians who require precision and durability in drift pin applications. Its standout feature is the integrated shock-absorbing sheathed handle, which significantly reduces vibration during heavy-duty tasks; however, users should note that the handle adds a bit more bulk compared to traditional, all-steel pin punches, which may limit clearance in extremely tight, recessed workspaces.

FAQs
Does this set include a carrying case?
The set is typically provided as a collection of 7 pieces, but it is recommended to store them in a standard tool drawer organizer.
Can I use these with a pneumatic hammer?
No, these are manual pin punches designed for use with hand-held hammers, not power tools.
Are the handles oil resistant?
Yes, the sheathed handles are designed for use in workshop environments and offer a non-slip grip even when exposed to oil or grease.
What is the smallest size in the set?
The smallest size provided is 2mm.
What is the largest size in the set?
The largest size provided is 10mm.
Troubleshooting
Punch tip is slipping off the pin head
Ensure you are using the correct diameter size; if the punch is too large, it will not seat properly. Check that the pin head is free of excessive debris.
Punch shaft has become slightly bent
This often occurs due to striking at an angle. Ensure the punch is held perfectly perpendicular to the pin. A bent punch should be replaced for safety and accuracy.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Superior vibration dampening reduces hand fatigue
- Covers a wide range of common pin sizes
- Non-slip grip handle performs well in oily conditions
- High-quality steel construction prevents tip deformation
Cons
- Handle bulk may be restrictive in very tight clearance areas
- Heavier than standard bare-metal pin punches
- Not intended for non-manual, heavy-impact pneumatic use
Setup, Compatibility & Care
No specialized setup is required; the punches are ready to use out of the package. These tools are compatible with most standard ball-peen or dead-blow hammers.
Maintenance Tips:
- Cleaning: Wipe down with a clean, dry rag after use. If grease accumulates on the textured grip, use a mild degreaser, but avoid soaking the handle for extended periods in harsh solvents.
- Storage: Keep the set in a tool roll or drawer organizer to prevent the tips from striking one another, which can dull the precision edges.
- Inspection: Regularly check the strike ends for 'mushrooming.' If signs of metal fatigue appear, carefully grind the mushroomed edge down to restore the flat profile.
