Brass Drive Pin Punch

The Starrett B565F is a brass drive pin punch designed for driving pins into metal, plastic and wood without damaging softer materials. Its 7/32 in tip and 4 in overall length suit assembly and maintenance tasks where a steel punch would mar the workpiece. The knurled grip provides secure handling during use.

SAE Measurement Limits

The punch follows SAE sizing with a fixed 7/32 in tip diameter and hole diameter, so it only fits pins of that exact size. Brass construction prevents sparking and surface damage but deforms faster than steel under heavy impact. The tool is not heat-treated and has no striking cap, limiting it to light driving applications.

Installation and Common Issues

No installation is required; the punch is used by hand with a hammer or mallet. The knurled round shank reduces slip, yet the lack of a handguard means off-centre strikes can injure fingers. Brass tips mushroom quickly if used on hardened pins, so users must match the punch to soft materials only.
