Real Avid — Gunsmithing Punch Set with Hammer (Accu-Punch)
This Accu-Punch kit is built for firearm pin work the right way—controlled strikes, proper punch sizing, and less slipping. You get a balanced hammer with interchangeable heads, hardened punches with grippy hex handles, and a pin alignment tool for starting tiny pins straight (which is where most people mess up).
Fitment
- Designed for standard straight/solid pins commonly found in firearms (maintenance, disassembly, upgrades).
- Steel punch sizes included: 1/16", 5/64", 3/32", 1/8", 9/64", 5/32", 3/16", 7/32", 1/4", 9/32".
- Includes a pin alignment tool and a stand-up case for organized bench access.
- Hammer: ergonomic grip with 4 interchangeable heads (rubber, brass, steel, nylon).
- Punches are described as hardened steel with nickel plating, plus hex-shaped handles and rubber O-rings for control.
Does NOT fit
- Not the best tool for roll pins (hollow pins). For roll pins, you want roll-pin punches that seat into the pin to prevent slipping and mushrooming.
- Not a replacement for big-build tools like an armorer’s wrench, vise blocks, or torque tools. This kit is for pin driving and controlled striking work.
Tools needed
- Bench block (recommended) to support the part and prevent flexing while driving pins
- Painter’s tape (recommended) to protect nearby finish
- Safety glasses (always)
Install notes
- Support the work: most bent pins and scratches come from poor support, not “bad punches.” Use a bench block and keep the part stable.
- Match the punch: use the largest punch that seats cleanly on the pin without walking off the edge.
- Start straight: use the included pin alignment tool to line things up before you commit to strikes.
- Pick the right hammer face: nylon/rubber when you’re near finish-sensitive areas, brass/steel when you need more authority.
- Controlled hits win: light taps to start, firm strikes once everything is seated and supported. If it feels “springy,” stop and re-support.
⚠ Install & Compatibility Disclaimer: Always confirm the firearm is unloaded before any work. Improper disassembly/assembly can cause unsafe function or damage. Support the workpiece properly, use correct punch sizing, and perform a full function/safety check after reassembly. If you’re unsure, use a qualified armorer/gunsmith.
