Grace Usa Starter Short Pin - Punch Set Steel 5pc

The Grace USA Starter Short Pin Punch Set Steel 5pc is a professional-grade hand tool assembly designed for automotive technicians, mechanics, and enthusiasts working on engine rebuilds, bearing replacement, and precision component removal. This set exists because starter motors, alternators, and other engine-mounted accessories require careful punch work to remove pins without damaging surrounding aluminum or cast-iron housings. Whether you're rebuilding a classic engine, servicing modern powerplants, or performing transmission work, having dedicated starter short pin punches eliminates the risk of marring soft metals that full-length punches can cause.

Each punch in this five-piece set is manufactured from hex stock steel, a critical design feature that prevents rolling when set on a work surface—a problem that costs time and risks dropped tools near expensive components. The entire punch length is heat-treated and hardened, ensuring durability through repeated striking without deformation or mushrooming. The tempered striking end absorbs hammer impact energy more efficiently than untreated steel, reducing the force required and improving control during delicate pin-removal operations. Made in the USA, these punches meet industrial manufacturing standards and deliver the precision control required when working in confined engine bays where space limits maneuvering and tool clearance.

Professional mechanics benefit most from this set when servicing starter assemblies, engine core plugs, or transmission pin locations where short, controlled punch strokes are mandatory. The 9.3-inch overall length provides reach into moderate-depth cavities while maintaining the control advantage of shorter tools compared to standard 12-inch punches. Compact at 0.7 pounds, the complete set stores easily in tool drawers or job boxes, making it ideal for shop environments, field service calls, or home garage restoration projects where versatility and reliability matter equally.
