The Wheeler Hammer and Punch Set gives you the hammer and punches you need to drive roll pins and spring pins and to drift dovetail sights, at the gunsmithing bench or at the range. Everything stores in a molded case, so the set stays organized in a range bag or a drawer.
The combination hammer has a polymer face and a brass face. Use the polymer face when you need to protect a finish, and the brass face when a pin needs more force. Brass punches are softer than steel, so they are less likely to mar a finish or damage a sight. Steel punches handle tight pins, and the plastic punches are for jobs where you do not want metal touching the part at all.
Pick a punch that matches the pin diameter, support the part on a bench block, and start with light taps. Always confirm the firearm is unloaded before you start any work on it.
