Troubleshooting
Punch tip appears to be deforming or mushrooming.
Ensure you are using the correct punch size for the job and that you are striking the punch squarely. Avoid using the punch for tasks it wasn't designed for, such as heavy prying or striking with excessive force. Inspect for any pre-existing damage.
Punches are showing signs of rust.
Wipe the punches clean with a dry cloth and apply a light coat of oil to the surface. Store the set in its case in a dry environment to prevent moisture exposure.
Difficulty removing a pin even with the correct punch size.
Ensure the pin is not seized or cross-threaded. Try applying a penetrating lubricant to the pin and allow it to sit before attempting to drive it out again. Use a hammer with controlled, firm strikes.
