Drive pin punch for metalwork
This Westward 2AJE3 drive pin punch is a hand-held tool designed to drive pins and rivets in metal assemblies. It features a 5/16 in flat tip, a 1/2 in hexagon shank and an overall length of 6 1/4 in. The plain grip and 2 1/2 in taper length provide control during alignment and removal tasks.
Users needing a single drive pin punch
Mechanics and fabricators who require a SAE-sized drive pin punch for occasional or repeated metal pin work will find this tool suitable. It is not intended for automated machinery, nor does it include a striking cap or handguard for heavy hammering applications. Buyers who need a tether-ready tool or a set with multiple tip sizes should look at something else.
5/16 in tip size determines fit
The 5/16 in tip diameter is the critical dimension that decides whether this punch matches the pin or rivet being driven. An incorrect tip size will damage the workpiece or fail to move the pin, so verify the required diameter before purchase.

Questions about this item
What hammer or mallet is needed to strike the 1/2 in hex shank without damaging it?
A standard ball-peen or engineer's hammer with a face at least as wide as the 1/2 in hex shank delivers clean blows and protects the punch end.
Can the 5/16 in flat tip drive pins seated in softer alloys without mushrooming the tip?
The flat 5/16 in tip is hardened for metal applications; use controlled strikes so the force stays axial and the tip keeps its profile.
How do I verify the 6 1/4 in overall length and 2 1/2 in taper are correct after unpacking?
Measure from the striking end to the tip with a rule — it should read 6 1/4 in — and the tapered section should span 2 1/2 in.
