Description of Starrett S248 Extended Diameters Cardboard

PIN PUNCH USES: Pin punches are tools used to insert or knock out rivets and pins in assemblies; They have a metal shank on one end and a metal pin driver on the other and are typically tapped with a hammer. SET OF 5: The Starrett S248 bulk set includes five drive pin punches with an extra long length of 8" and 1/8", 3/16", 1/4", and 5/16" pin diameter sizes. STEEL CONSTRUCTION: These pin punches are made of hardened steel for wear resistance and strength; Its tempered head makes it less likely to fracture from a hard, off-center blow. KNURLED GRIPS: Round shank is knurled for a sturdy finger grip and greater control; As an added precaution, always wear safety goggles when using striking tools. The bodies are 4-1/2 inch. Diameter of punches is slightly less than listed. STORAGE CASE INCLUDED: This center pouch set comes with a convenient, red cardboard storage box for keeping your pin punches organized; Each punch has its size stamped on the head. Set of 5 punches includes: 1/8", 3/16", 1/4", 5/16", 3/8". Extra long, measuring 8". Well proportioned, hardened and properly tempered. Have a knurled finger grip.

Great product BUT NOT WHAT THE PICTURE

Excellent Starrett quality. I like the deep knurling, not the cheap ones that have nothing but a raised pattern. THE MODELS PICTURED DO NOT RECEIVE A BAG. You will receive a box with a lid. I contacted Revain to change it. If you need a bag, you need S248PC.

Pros
  • Good proportions properly hardened and tempered
Cons
  • Some issues

Punches are missing something

Very good quality stamp. I gave this set 3 stars because it doesn't come with the bag pictured. When I read the product description, I didn't find any indication that there was no case. I agree with the fact that the bag does not come with dies, but other buyers may want the bag as they see it in the picture. I have had Starrett punches for many years and have never had a problem with their quality. These are very good hits, just don't expect a bag.

Pros
  • STORAGE BAG INCLUDED: This set of center pouches comes with a handy red box to store your punches; The size of each stamp is marked on the head
Cons
  • Compatibility

Good stamps, still made in USA

They are still made in USA, good length and well hardened steel pins. The grips are knurled fairly aggressively and are about 1/2 inch in diameter. I don't know why Starrett doesn't bevel the end of this 248 series like they do on every other drum kit they make, but it has a very small bevel with a surface area of about 1/16 inch. I assume they need to be resharpened a little more often. They don't mention it here at Revain, but Starrett says these punches (both steel and brass) are a bit…

Pros
  • Has knurled finger grip
Cons
  • little things
