Five-piece punch set for drive pins
The Starrett S248PC set contains five steel punches sized from 1/4 in. to 5/16 in. Each tool uses a one-piece design that simplifies handling and storage. A tether point is built in so the punch can be secured when working overhead or at awkward angles. The set is aimed at technicians and DIYers who need to drive or remove pins in automotive and general mechanical work.
Steel construction handles repeated impact
The HAWA steel material resists deformation under normal striking loads. No moving parts or lubricated surfaces mean there is no thermal cycling or fan noise to consider. Power draw is not applicable because the tools are entirely manual. In typical use the punches stay cool and silent while transferring hammer energy to the pin.
One-piece bodies with tether holes
Each punch is forged as a single piece, eliminating loose heads or rivets that could fail. The integrated tether hole accepts a lanyard or retractable tether for drop prevention on elevated jobs. The five sizes nest together in the supplied holder, keeping the kit compact in a toolbox or on a pegboard. The 1.6 kg total weight gives a solid feel without excessive bulk.

Questions about this item
How do I use the tether capability on the Starrett S248PC punches when working overhead?
Each punch has a 1-piece design with a tether point; attach a lanyard or retractor to the hole before climbing to prevent drops.
What maintenance will the HAWA steel punches need after repeated use?
Wipe them clean, apply light oil to prevent corrosion, and inspect tips for mushrooming; replace any punch with a deformed tip.
What is the first limit I will hit when driving pins continuously with the 1.6 kg set?
Operator fatigue from the 1.6 kg total weight and repetitive impact typically limits sustained use before the HAWA steel shows wear.
