HOW TO USE:

1. Select the Right Punch: Ensure the Mayhew 5/8-16mm x 8" Brass Drift Punch is the appropriate size for the pin or component you need to manipulate. The 5/8-inch (16mm) pin width should match or be slightly smaller than the item to be driven.
2. Position the Workpiece: Secure the item you are working on in a vice or on a stable surface to prevent movement during the striking process.
3. Place the Punch: Position the tip of the brass drift punch directly onto the center of the pin or area you wish to strike. Hold the punch firmly with one hand.
4. Strike with a Hammer: Using a hammer, deliver a firm, controlled blow to the top of the punch. Start with lighter taps to assess the force needed and increase gradually if required. The brass material will absorb some of the impact and transfer the force to the target without causing damage or sparks.
5. Monitor Progress: Observe the movement of the pin or component. Continue striking until the desired alignment is achieved or the pin is fully removed.
6. Clean and Store: After use, wipe the punch clean. Store it in a dry place to maintain its condition.
