Mayhew 1/8-3mm Point Width Line-Up Punch (22010)

Mayhew 1/8-3mm Point Width Line-Up Punch (22010) is an essential tool for achieving accurate hole alignment in various applications. Its primary function is to align pre-drilled or semi-aligned holes, creating a precise path for the insertion of rivets, pins, or bolts. By inserting the punch's tapered end into slightly misaligned holes, it can be gently driven through, effectively bringing the holes into perfect alignment. This ensures that fasteners can be inserted smoothly and accurately, preventing damage to materials or the fasteners themselves. The black oxide finish on the punch provides an additional layer of protection against rust, extending the tool's lifespan and maintaining its appearance even with regular use. Often referred to as a "Drift Punch," this tool is a testament to quality craftsmanship, being proudly made in the USA. Its specific 1/8-3mm point width makes it versatile for a range of smaller alignment tasks.
