Application & grip

The Starrett 248C is a one-piece drive pin punch designed for removing pins and aligning components. Its 8 in length provides reach and leverage, while the knurled body gives a secure hold when striking with a hammer. Hardened steel construction resists deformation under repeated impact. This hand tool suits automotive, machinery and general maintenance tasks.

Suitable users & limits

Mechanics and technicians who need a single 1/4 in tip punch for driving out roll pins or rivets will find this tool matches the job. It is not intended for buyers who require a set of multiple tip sizes, a softer brass or nylon tip to protect delicate surfaces, or a shorter punch for confined spaces.

Deciding specification

The tip diameter is 1/4 in, which determines whether the punch fits the pin you are removing. Verify the pin size before purchase; a mismatch will prevent the tool from engaging correctly.

Questions about this item

What diameter drift pin fits the 1/4 In Tip on the Starrett 248C?

The punch tip measures 1/4 inch, so it matches pins of that same diameter.

How do I avoid mushrooming the head when driving the 8 In L punch?

Strike the knurled body squarely with a hammer and keep the punch perpendicular to the pin.

When should I replace the hardened steel tip on the 248C?

Replace it once the tip shows visible deformation or no longer seats cleanly in the pin.
