TEKTON 5/16 Inch Long Alignment Punch | 66278 | Made in USA

To align pieces for accurate assembly, fastening, or welding, drive the TEKTON 5/16 inch Long Alignment Punch through holes in two or more parts. Its gradually tapered self-centering nose creates the mechanical advantage to position even heavy parts with smooth control. At 18 inches long, it offers extra leverage and extended reach through thick pieces or past obstructions and provides the room for a two-handed grip when needed. The tip and tapered shaft are precisely machined to meet exacting size tolerances, ensuring they are straight and true. Made from premium high-carbon steel, each punch is individually heat treated creating a strong, hardened tip while keeping the soft temper of the striking end, allowing it to absorb hammer blows without chipping.
