As far as I'm concerned, it really doesn't matter how big or small they are, but where they are. It works great for all of my dovetail sights to use a half inch drift.

I am 7 inches tall. The longer one is better, but I think it'd be nicer if it were longer.
Three 3/8" screws, one 1/2" screw, and one 3/4" screw were purchased. My Dexter 5 bearings are new. I changed them just now. A total of 5K axles were installed It took me a while to get the races out with the 3/4" punch and a lot of beating with the races. A minimum of 1/2" would be fine with me.
Selected User Reviews For Mayhew Pro 25076 1/2-Inch Knurled Brass Drift Punch
These were used to remove bearing races from a bearing. Your wheel hub will be deformed/damaged instead, which will result in loss of traction. Following the use of a steel drift and the removal of the races, I had nicks on the hub of my wheel. Use this if you don't want to nick/deform metal in any way. Brass is softer than steel and therefore less likely to cause damage. The deformity/dent will occur during the removal of your race. As long as it is working properly, there is nothing you can do. It may be possible to sand or cut it to make it look better. The removal of about 8 races using this is probably doable, and you can probably get up to 20 before you have to toss it. When I cleaned/removed the gold metal flakes from my wheelhub before reassembling, I had a lot of small gold metal flakes.
Despite being a good tool, I may need to buy a larger one when it is time to replace mine. I did this to break the cone washers on the hubs on my Toyota 4Runner. If you need to do this, loosen the nuts enough to get them flush with the end of the stud, then swing the hammer and use a BRASS drift to break them A hammer should never be struck directly against studs or hubs! Despite this size working well, I would suggest using the next larger size (with a nut) to keep the nut centered on the stud. *By the time I was finished, I had mushroomed the end of the drift (yeah, that's why you use a drift rather than hammering the stud). I must take responsibility for what has happened, not the tool Age is changing my goals, and now I don't aim as high as I did As long as there's plenty of length, I can probably grind or cut the end so that it has a square striking area next time. If I ever buy another one, I may get the larger one (from the same company), to counteract my aim problems.
In order to tap the valve seat back down into the aluminum can, I used it. A problem with the engine caused it to overheat. I found that it was tough to work with the drift because of its chamfer on the end. To make the end flat, I had to grind it. I was able to use the workaround after that. Those worried about lead content should not use it Using it should be followed by washing your hands or don't forget to wear Make sure you put on a mask if you grind it, like I did.
For use in the Dana 44 front section, bearing races were punched for reuse. In no way did the bearing race get damaged. The technique may require a lot of small taps around the race to get it out, but it is effective, and it spares important parts from being damaged. Drift is soft enough to conform to the work piece, yet hard enough to ensure that contacts do not shear off and the pattern does not disappear. As this is a consumable type of tool, you just need to use it, clean it up with a fill after use, and then buy another once.
It appears the tool is knurled in the picture, but the one I received did not have one. If received as is, will it work Certainly, but I like getting what I pay for, and this was not the case here. The grip of tools like this is improved by knurling since it allows for better control. Did this happen due to a manufacturing oversight or was it part of a cost reduction strategy? I just don't know, but since I have not seen this mentioned in other reviews, I believe that it may be a recent change in.
Could you please tell me what you think? By being sturdy and not marring any steel, it gives its job a good performance. Feels good in touch and finished nicely. It's never a bad idea to support American made products!.
My favorite thing about Mayhew products is the fact that they're made in the United States. They have been very reliable and the quality is quite good. I have bought three of their drift pins in different sizes. Mahew products are of good quality and highly recommended. Pay what you want, and you'll get what you want.
The seller provided great service and great tools. been buying Mayhew tools for a long time, and I'm always satisfied with their quality and It was delivered on time when I ordered this brass drift, however the tool was not included in the package. There is no package inside. The customer support at Amazon took care of my order within a few days and it was replaced. The person who handled it had no probing questions or concerns (that perhaps I was just looking for a free drift) and instead presented me with no bother and a very pleasant personality. Congratulations and thanks for the great work!.
