Selected User Reviews For Wheeler Engineering Roll Pin Starter Punch Set
The reviews looked good so I decided to give them a try since I needed these to get spiral roll pins in without bending or damaging them. My first observation when I opened them was that some had brown sand looking junk in them. Then, I noticed another one had what looked like water filling the hole and when I removed that one, there were clearly greasy fingerprints There was a lot of dirt on the set, so I don't know if I got a used set or if they got dropped during production or came open during shipping. Although I'm sure they are going to work fine and I did spend 15-20 minutes cleaning out the holes, I would have expected a brand new tool set not to come with all the dirt and liquid it came with, so I only gave it 2 Interestingly, I saw that another reviewer encountered a similar issue with theirs, so I think there is an issue with quality control at the company. See the pictures below to see how they looked and how much crud I was able to get out of them when they arrived. Previously, I've seen some leftover production residue, but the level I see now is very low.
What a horrible thing to do. With this roll pin punch set, my task was made a thousand times easier, and I didn't scratch the roll this time around. Gunsmithing would be my dream job if I was able to use these tools all day. That was hilarious. Haha. You and your gun will never see that, but these tools will make your life much more convenient and they will make your gun look like it was professionally built.
I bought these to build some AR-type rifles, and they worked almost perfect except for the roll pin for the gas block, which wouldn't release when the pin was inserted into the gas block it would just pull right out again! As I tried to remove the roll pin from the tool, the pliers got jammed up up and could not remove it, so I was forced I am very happy with how the others worked!.
I was building an upper for my first time and I needed the set to make things My home gunsmithing activities have increased over the past few years, and I have had a need for a set like this for a while. I have already started the pin in It is much easier to do the job when you have the right tools. As well as my roll pin punch set, I also enjoy it. The three sets of punches and my spares make a total of six punches. Because I have the right tools, I feel I have the ability to handle jobs that I wouldn't have been able to take on without them.
A few months ago, I didn't even know these punches existed until I saw them being used in an on-the-job safety course Watch the video to repair your line. It was always difficult for me to start Roll Pins as I would have my blunt head punches jump off the pin. I even hurt my hand from the hammer head whacking They eliminate these problems because they use a roll pin starter punch. It is possible to safely hold the roll pin into place with the Starter Punch by allowing the end of the roll pin to slide into the punch. These bags are extremely well made and come with a nice apron. It would be a good recommendation.
The quality of the rolls are generally good, but I cannot figure out if it is because the roll pins are too long or the punches are too One pin hit into the starter punch as opposed to the part so deep I had to use a vise and a wrench to remove it. I saw this on two different sizes of parts. You need to be careful.
Changing mast chains on my forklift was easy with these. The anchor pin is held in place by two roll pins that are perpendicular to each other, and it was difficult and painful to line up the roll pin with the anchor pin hole in the past. The pins fit well with the metric pins I dealt with, but they appear to be aimed at standard roll pin sizes.
gave this product 3 stars because, although it is indicated it can be used for gunsmithing, the tool does not come with a punch that is small enough to work on firearms. I returned them due to their appearance and the price. Although they appeared decent quality for the price, I needed a smaller punch, so I returned them.
