HEAVY-DUTY APPLICATIONS – Designed for backing out bolts, rivets, and pins in demanding environments where controlled force and durability are critical. Ideal for industrial, construction, and mechanical work. Everything is made in the USA.

FORGED steelhead – Made in the USA from high-quality forged tool steel and machined for precision. Each head is heat treated after machining to ensure a deep, uniform hardness throughout.

ENGINEERED FOR PERFORMANCE – Pein end is heat treated to Rc 46–54 for optimal strength and toughness, while the striking face remains unhardened, allowing safe use with a standard hammer without chipping.

INDUSTRIAL-GRADE HANDLE – American-made fiberglass handle features a rugged pultruded core and a molded grip for comfort and control. Epoxy-bonded into a bare metal eye for a superior chemical and mechanical bond that won't loosen under repeated use.

CORROSION RESISTANT FINISH – Head is coated in a clear lacquer to resist rust and wear. The striking face is hand beveled to minimize mushrooming and ensure accurate, repeatable contact.

Built for demanding industrial and mechanical applications, these American-made back-out punches are designed to drive out bolts, rivets, and pins with confidence and control. Available in five sizes, 1/2", 5/8", 3/4", 7/8", and 1", each punch features a forged tool steelhead that’s heat treated after machining to achieve a fine grain structure and optimal hardness (Rc 46–54), delivering strength, safety, and durability where it counts.
