Brass Drive Pin Punch, 3/16 in Tip, 8 in L
The Starrett B248B is a brass drive pin punch designed for driving pins in metal, plastic and wood without damaging softer materials. Its 3/16 in flat tip and 8 in overall length suit assembly and maintenance tasks where a non-marring strike face is required. The knurled round shank provides a secure grip during use.
SAE Measurement and Flat Tip Constraints
The punch follows SAE sizing with a 3/16 in tip diameter that is slightly less than the listed size for clearance. The flat tip profile limits use to applications needing a straight drive rather than a tapered or centred start. No striking cap or handguard is included, so the user must control alignment and impact force manually.
Brass Construction and Knurled Grip
Brass construction prevents workpiece marring while the knurled shank resists slipping in oily or wet hands. The punch diameter is clearly marked on the head for quick identification in a mixed tool set. Supplied in a box, it has no tether point or integrated handle, so storage and lanyard attachment are left to the user.

Questions about this item
What does the 3/16 in tip size mean for my work?
The 3/16 in tip matches standard pin diameters so you can drive or remove pins without marring the surrounding metal, plastic or wood.
How does the brass construction affect use on softer materials?
Brass is softer than steel so the punch will not damage aluminium, brass, plastic or wood surfaces when struck.
What does the 8 in overall length provide in practice?
The 8 in length gives enough reach for deep holes while keeping the knurled grip clear of the hammer face for controlled strikes.
