Starrett 248PC Extra-Long Drive Pin Punch Set — 8" Length, 5-Piece (1/8"–3/8"), Knurled Grip, Vinyl Case

The Starrett 248PC Drive Pin Punch Set combines reach, control, and durability to help with pins and rivets in tight or recessed spaces. Each punch reaches 8 inches overall, featuring a 3-1/2 inch pin section and five diameters—1/8", 3/16", 1/4", 5/16", and 3/8"—to cover a broad range of common fasteners. Constructed from hardened and tempered steel, these punches resist wear while maintaining a sharp edge for repeated use. The round shanks are knurled for a secure grip, reducing slipping during hammer blows. A protective vinyl pouch keeps the five-piece set organized and ready for transport or on-site work.

Drive pin punches are designed to insert or knock out rivets and pins in assemblies. The Starrett 248PC set is well-suited for machine shop tasks, motor service work, and general maintenance, where access to recessed areas can otherwise complicate pin or rivet work. The sizes are clearly marked on the head for quick identification, helping you select the right tool at a glance without sacrificing precision or control.
