Mayhew 7/16-11mm x 14" Brass Line-Up Punch (25096)
The Mayhew 7/16-11mm x 14" Brass Line-Up Punch (25096) is an essential tool for achieving precise hole alignment in a wide range of applications. Designed with both accuracy and safety in mind, this specialized punch facilitates the insertion of rivets, pins, or bolts by perfectly aligning existing holes. Its construction from high-grade brass ensures that it performs its task without damaging the surrounding material, making it an invaluable asset in metalworking, automotive repair, machinery maintenance, and any setting where material integrity is paramount. The generous 14-inch length provides ample reach for difficult-to-access areas, while the carefully tapered end allows for smooth and effective hole manipulation.
KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS:
Precise Hole Alignment: The 7/16 inch (11 mm) point width and generous 7−7/8 inch taper length allow for exact positioning of holes, ensuring fasteners like rivets, pins, or bolts can be inserted smoothly and accurately.
Non-Marring Brass Construction: Made from high-grade brass, this punch will not damage or scratch harder steel materials or other delicate workpieces, preserving the integrity and finish of your components.
Non-Sparking Safety: The brass material inherently prevents the generation of sparks upon impact, making it a safer choice for use in environments where flammable materials or gases might be present.
Extended Reach: The 14-inch overall length provides superior reach, enabling users to access and align holes in deep or confined spaces that shorter tools cannot.
Secure Grip: A knurled handle enhances user control by providing a more secure and comfortable grip, reducing slippage during use and improving overall operational safety.
Convenient Storage: Comes with an anti-slip pouch featuring a hook and loop fastening system and individual slots, offering organized, protective, and easily accessible storage for the punch.

Identify Misaligned Holes: Locate the holes in your workpiece that need to be aligned for the insertion of a rivet, pin, or bolt.
Insert Tapered End: Gently insert the tapered tip of the Mayhew Brass Line-Up Punch into one of the semi-aligned holes.
Drive for Alignment: Apply light pressure or carefully tap the striking end of the punch with a hammer (preferably a non-marring hammer) to gradually guide the punch through the holes. The taper will gently persuade the holes into perfect alignment.
Verify Alignment: Once the punch is fully inserted through both holes, verify that they are perfectly aligned.
Remove Punch & Insert Fastener: Carefully withdraw the punch from the aligned holes, and then immediately insert your rivet, pin, or bolt.
