Extended Product Information

FAQs

Does this set include a center punch?

No, this is a drift punch set intended for driving pins, not for marking metal surfaces.

What is the material of these punches?

They are crafted from high-grade industrial steel, forged for maximum durability.

Can I buy individual replacements if I lose one?

Facom often offers individual replacement parts for their sets; check with your local authorized Facom dealer.

Is the storage stand wall-mountable?

The stand is primarily designed to sit on a workbench, though it can be modified or secured to a surface using appropriate fasteners.

Are these punches heat-treated?

Yes, they undergo a specific heat-treatment process to balance hardness for tip durability and toughness to prevent snapping.

Troubleshooting

Punch tip begins to show signs of mushrooming

Use a bench grinder to carefully file or grind the striking end back to a flat, beveled profile.

Punch feels difficult to pull from the metal stand

Ensure the stand is mounted on a flat surface and check if any debris has entered the holes; clean with a wire brush.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Comprehensive size range for varied tasks
  • Sturdy metal storage stand included
  • High-durability forged steel construction
  • Easy to organize in a toolbox or on a workbench

Cons

  • Premium price point compared to entry-level sets
  • Metal stand is not ideal for mobile tool bags
  • Requires proper striking tools to avoid tip mushrooming

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To keep your Facom punch set in peak condition, store them immediately in the provided metal stand after use to prevent the tips from rolling off benches or being dulled by contact with other hard tools. Regularly inspect the striking ends; if you notice 'mushrooming' after heavy use, carefully grind the edges back to their original profile to prevent fragments from chipping off during future strikes. Keep the shafts lightly oiled to prevent surface oxidation in humid workshop conditions.
