HOLEX pin punch, guide sleeve support, sizes 0.9 to 5.9 mm
A knurled guide sleeve steadies the arbor of this HOLEX pin punch right where the hammer lands, so a slim parallel pin punch can drive a pin out of its bore without flexing. Chrome vanadium steel stands up to repeated hammer blows, so this drive pin punch keeps its place in toolroom repair work, at assembly stations, and on maintenance benches.
Nine tip diameters run from 0.9 mm to 5.9 mm, and you pick yours from the size dropdown. For scale, the 0.9 mm punch pairs that tip with a 15 mm (0.6 in.) pin length, a proportion suited to fine machine pins and instrument assemblies. Diameters are ordered one at a time, so a worn tip is replaced size for size rather than nine at once.
Key features:
• Slim design: reaches pins seated in narrow recesses and confined housings
• Hardened arbor stays true under repeated hammer strikes
• Parallel form: constant diameter along the working end, so the punch can follow a pin fully through its bore
What keeps a thin pin punch from bending mid-strike?
A guide sleeve keeps a slender pin punch tool aligned under hammer impact, supporting the arbor so force travels straight into the pin instead of flexing the tip.
Applications: driving out parallel pins, removing dowel pins, freeing seized hinge pins, machinery pin replacement, instrument and gauge repair, fixture and tooling service.
Industries: machinery maintenance, equipment manufacturing, automotive repair, metal fabrication, appliance service.
Users: maintenance technicians, mechanics, machinists, assemblers.
What jobs does a sleeve-guided pin punch handle?
Pin punches remove and install pins in machinery, hinges, and tooling assemblies. Start with the tip seated on the pin and the punch held in line with the bore, then tap with a hammer until the pin travels through. Keep a few diameters on hand so the tip always matches the pin you are driving.
Which sizes of this HOLEX punch come with the loose sleeve?
Sizes 0.9 through 3.9 mm come with a loose guide sleeve, and the 4.9 mm and 5.9 mm sizes use a fixed shank instead. Pick the tip diameter that matches your pin first, then check which configuration that size carries so the punch arrives as expected.
Does one pin punch handle several different pin diameters?
No, a punch works best when its tip matches the pin it drives, which is why this family offers nine diameters from 0.9 to 5.9 mm. A tip close to the pin diameter transfers force evenly and is less likely to slip or wedge in the bore. For mixed maintenance work, cover the small, mid, and large ends of the range rather than relying on one middle size.
