What is a pin punch?

A pin punch is a specialized tool used in metalworking and machining to drive out or insert pins, dowels, or other cylindrical fasteners. It features a long, slender body with a hardened tip that is designed to withstand impact and prevent deformation. Pin punches come in various sizes to accommodate different pin diameters and are typically used with a hammer for precise force application. They are essential for tasks such as disassembling machinery or aligning components during assembly.
