Description

The Mayhew 2″ x 3/8″ Pin Punch (21014) is a specialized and essential tool for any professional or DIY enthusiast focused on precise component removal. This punch is expertly designed to drive out and remove pins and keys that have already been loosened. Its meticulous design ensures that you can complete the removal process efficiently and without causing damage to the workpiece or the punch itself. The black oxide finish not only gives it a professional appearance but also provides a crucial layer of protection against corrosion, ensuring the tool’s longevity.

Whether you’re working on automotive repairs, machinery maintenance, or general assembly, this pin punch offers the accuracy and reliability needed for successful pin extraction. Remember, this tool is specifically for already loosened pins; for seized components, a solid punch should be used first to initiate movement.

HOW TO USE:

1. Assess the Pin: First, identify the pin or key you need to remove. Ensure it is visible and accessible.
2. Loosen Seized Pins (If Necessary): If the pin or key is stuck, rusted, or seized, do not use the Mayhew 21014 Pin Punch initially. Instead, use a solid punch of appropriate size to strike the pin firmly and break it loose, initiating initial movement.
3. Position the Pin Punch: Once the pin or key is loosened and has some initial movement, place the 3/8″ tip of the Mayhew 21014 Pin Punch squarely onto the center of the pin.
4. Strike the Punch: Using a hammer of appropriate weight, strike the head of the pin punch with controlled force. Ensure your strike is straight and firm to drive the pin further out.
5. Continue Removal: Repeat striking the punch as needed, maintaining proper alignment, until the pin is fully driven out from its hole.
6. Retrieve the Pin: Once the pin is completely free, safely retrieve it from the other side of the workpiece.
