Up for auction are Wright Tool Company 9 piece 4 inch long drive pin punch sets. THE PRICING IS FOR ONE SET. They are made of tool steel that has been heat treated ground and polished with a black oxide finish and Wright Tool is a United States Company. Each set includes sizes 1/16, 3/32, 1/8, 5/32, 3/16, 7/32, 1/4, 5/16, & 3/8. They have very nice knurling on them for a secure grip and come in a size marked snap close plastic holder. Each punch is also marked with its size at the top, where your cheap sets are usually not marked. These are shorter to make them easier to work on smaller items such as fire arms when you may need to stabilize the item while installing or removing pins. I got these at a business auction and they have prices of $79.95 marked on them which if you check other Wright Tool punch prices on eBay it is about right. I’m pricing these to move them quickly. See pictures above for side by side comparison to the cheap 10 and 15 dollar sets that mushroom out after one or two uses (NOT INCLUDED IN AUCTION) and also for the type of items you will receive. There’s some factory information below. Thanks for looking and any questions please feel free to ask.
