Having the right tool for the job is always nice. These punches pay for themselves in a couple uses. I would always grind down a nail or some scrap steel to make a punch. But these roll pin punches are a little harder to make. Its nice to have some brass ones also.

Nice set. But the metal is not heat treated properly so the tips deform easily. I heat treated them myself and now they are fine. Also, the case would be better if it covered the punches. As it is, you roll it up and it moves around in the tool box and the punches slide out of the top. If you use them occasionally, they are ok. If you are a builder and use your tools alot, spend the money and get a better set.

These are a must when installing small roll pins to keep from damaging the pins or slipping off and scratching your upper or lower. I have at times tried to skimp by and "make do" however, at the expense of learning a hard lesson. If you are into working on and modifying your own AR platforms, get you some punches.

This set suits my needs fine. It's not Craftsman or Snap-on quality, but it's fine for a non-professional's use. Seems reasonably well made, especially for the price. Each punch is wrapped in plastic sheeting, and has been oiled with a very thin oil, but each showed a little bit of rust when wiped clean. But for the price, and for the use I have for them, they're exactly what I expected, and what I need. I don't want to spend $75 for a dozen chunks of steel I'll use a couple of times a year. If I were earning my living with them, I'd spend more, but these are fine for my needs.

Basic set of roll pin punches like you get form home depot except for a few dollars more you buy them on ebay and get shipped right to your house. value isn't great but isn't bad either , Quality is low to middle end decent enough for a home hobbyist
