Mayhew 1/8″ Point Width Hex Line-Up Punch (72010)

Description

Mayhew 1/8″ Point Width Hex Line-Up Punch (72010) is a specialized hand tool engineered for precision hole alignment. Its 1/8″ point width is perfectly sized for accurately guiding holes before the insertion of rivets, pins, or bolts. By utilizing its tapered end, this punch can be driven through semi-aligned holes, ensuring perfect registration and ease of fastener installation. This tool’s robust construction and shot-blasted finish contribute to its functional lifespan and performance. Often referred to as a “Drift Punch,” it is a testament to quality craftsmanship, being proudly Made in the USA.

HOW TO USE:

1. Identify Misaligned Holes: Locate the holes in your workpiece that need to be aligned for fastener insertion.
2. Position the Punch: Insert the tapered, 1/8″ point end of the Mayhew Line-Up Punch into one of the semi-aligned holes.
3. Apply Pressure: Gently push the punch, attempting to guide the holes into better alignment.
4. Drive for Alignment: If necessary, use a hammer or mallet to lightly tap the other end of the punch. This action will cause the tapered end to pass through both holes, forcing them into perfect coaxial alignment.
5. Remove Punch: Once alignment is achieved, remove the punch from the now perfectly aligned holes.
6. Insert Fastener: You can now easily insert your rivet, pin, or bolt through the aligned holes.
