If you’ve ever tried to drive out a roll pin with a regular punch, you know it’s a frustrating exercise in bent tools and bruised knuckles. Roll pins have hollow centers that regular punches can collapse, making removal nearly impossible. That’s where this pilot punch set comes in—each punch has a smaller pilot tip that fits inside the pin’s hollow center, letting you drive it out cleanly without damage.
What You’re Getting
- Nine precision-sized punches to handle the most common roll pin sizes you’ll find on tractors and implements
- Pilot tips that center perfectly in hollow roll pins to prevent crushing or binding
- Heat-treated steel construction that won’t bend or mushroom under heavy hammer blows
- Knurled grips that give you a solid hold even with greasy hands
- Organized storage case that keeps everything together in your toolbox
Built for Real Farm Work
This set covers the roll pin sizes you’ll encounter when working on hydraulic cylinders, three-point hitches, loader pins, and PTO assemblies. Whether you’re replacing worn bushings, fixing a broken cylinder pin, or rebuilding a gearbox, having the right size punch makes all the difference between a quick repair and an all-day struggle.
Made to Last
Mayhew has been making quality punches for decades, and this set shows why they’ve got such a good reputation. The steel is properly heat-treated to stay sharp and resist mushrooming, while the pilot tips are precisely machined to slide smoothly into roll pins without binding up.
Good to Know
Always use a backing plate or anvil when driving out pins to prevent damage to the part you’re working on. Start with light taps to get the pin moving, then increase force as needed. If a pin seems stuck, a little penetrating oil and patience usually does the trick better than brute force.
