Overview
A single steel punch from Gunsmithing, model 123412QWE, weighing 2.39 ounces. Punches like this drive out roll pins and takedown pins during firearm disassembly, cleaning and repair, and the 675 review history with continuing monthly purchases points to steady, repeat use.
The listing carries no seller description and no attribute beyond weight, so most of what a buyer can judge here is the review pattern. A single loose punch is a narrow purchase, most useful to fill a gap in an existing pin punch set rather than as a first tool.

Who it's for
Fits gunsmiths and hobbyists who already own a hammer and need one more punch size for pin work. Not a starter kit on its own, since it ships as a single piece rather than a graduated set.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Light enough for controlled, precise taps
- Fills a specific gap in a punch set
- Sold as a single piece, not a set
- No published tip diameter or length
Performance notes
A pin punch works by concentrating a hammer blow onto a narrow tip so a roll pin or takedown pin drives out of its hole without marring the surrounding metal. At 2.39 ounces this is a light, easily controlled single piece, better suited to fine adjustment than to knocking loose a stuck or rusted pin, where a heavier punch gives more authority.
