Frequently Asked Questions

What materials are Blue Spot pin punches made from?

Blue Spot pin punches are manufactured from high-carbon steel that has been hardened and tempered to provide optimal durability and resistance to deformation. This heat treatment process ensures the punches maintain their tip geometry even after extensive use.

How do I prevent my pin punches from mushrooming?

Whilst Blue Spot pin punches are designed to resist mushrooming, always use an appropriately sized hammer and strike squarely on the punch head. Regularly inspect the striking end and carefully file away any developing mushroom edges to maintain safety and effectiveness.

What size pin punch do I need?

Select a pin punch slightly smaller than the pin diameter you're removing – typically 0.5mm to 1mm smaller. This prevents the punch from binding in the hole and allows the pin to be driven out cleanly without damaging the surrounding material.
