Hardened Tool Steel Punch

The Starrett 248E is a one-piece drive pin punch forged from hardened tool steel for maximum strength and durability. Its 8-inch length and 3/8-inch tip are designed to remove stubborn drive pins in automotive and industrial maintenance tasks. A knurled handle provides a secure grip across varied working environments. The tool operates with or without tethering for added job-site flexibility.

Target Users and Limitations

This punch suits technicians and mechanics who need a durable, single-piece steel tool for driving out pins. Buyers requiring a complete punch set with multiple tip diameters should look at a different product. The fixed tip size also means it does not serve applications needing interchangeable or smaller pin diameters.

Decisive Specification

The 3/8-inch tip diameter is the single dimension that determines whether this punch fits the drive pins you must remove. Verify the pin size before purchase because the tip cannot be changed or adapted.

Questions about this item

How does the hardened tool steel hold up when you are driving pins all day?

The one-piece hardened tool steel construction resists mushrooming and bending through repeated heavy strikes.

Does the knurled handle stay comfortable and non-slip during extended use?

The knurled handle provides a secure grip that reduces hand fatigue and slipping during long sessions.

What hammer or mallet do I need to use this 8 in punch effectively?

A standard ball-peen or machinist hammer with a face large enough to strike the punch squarely works well.
