Mayhew 3-1/2″ x 3/16″ Hex Pin Punch (71501)

Description

The Mayhew 3-1/2″ x 3/16″ Hex Pin Punch (71501) is a specialized hand tool designed for precise removal of fasteners in various mechanical and industrial applications. Crafted with attention to detail in the USA, this punch is an essential component for any toolkit involved in machinery maintenance, automotive repair, or general assembly work. Its specific design ensures that it performs its intended function effectively and without causing undue stress to surrounding components. The punch is manufactured from steel, providing a solid structure for transferring force efficiently from striking to the pin. Its hex body design offers a secure grip and prevents rolling on flat surfaces, contributing to a safer and more organized workspace. The careful selection of materials and manufacturing processes results in a reliable tool that maintains its form and function over time, even with regular use. The shot-blast finish not only gives the tool a professional appearance but also contributes to its resistance against surface wear.

KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS:

• Precise Pin Removal: The 3/16-inch pin width and 3-1/2 inch pin length allow for accurate targeting and effective removal of specific pin sizes, ensuring clean extraction.
• Optimal Length for Access: An overall length of 8 inches provides sufficient reach to access pins in confined or recessed areas, enhancing versatility in various work environments.
• Hexagonal Body: The 3/8-inch hexagonal body provides a secure grip for the user and prevents the tool from rolling on workbenches, contributing to workplace safety and efficiency.
• Specialized Function: Specifically designed for driving out and removing already loosened pins and keys, ensuring the correct tool is used for the final stage of disassembly, preventing damage to the tool or workpiece.
• Quality Construction: Made in the USA from robust steel with a shot-blast finish, indicating a commitment to manufacturing standards and material integrity.

HOW TO USE:

1. Identify the Pin: Locate the pin or key you intend to remove from the assembly.
2. Loosen the Pin: If the pin or key is seized or tight, first use a solid punch of appropriate size to initiate movement and loosen it. The Mayhew 71501 is not intended for the initial breaking free of seized pins.
3. Position the Pin Punch: Place the 3/16-inch tip of the Mayhew Select 71501 directly onto the center of the loosened pin. Ensure the punch is aligned straight with the pin’s axis.
4. Strike the Punch: Using a hammer of appropriate weight, strike the flat end of the Mayhew 71501 punch. Apply controlled, even strikes to progressively drive the pin out of its hole.
5. Monitor Progress: Continue striking until the pin is fully pushed out or sufficiently extended for manual removal.
6. Retrieve Pin: Once the pin is clear, carefully remove it from the assembly.
