Drift punch Bahco 3659-2.4

The Bahco 3659-2.4 drift punch is a compact hand tool designed for precision alignment and pin driving tasks. Constructed from durable steel and fitted with a stainless steel handle, this 90 mm long drift punch provides controlled impact transfer while remaining lightweight at approximately 20 g. Its size and construction make it suitable for delicate assembly work and general workshop use where accurate hole alignment and gentle pin removal or insertion are required.

Advantages

The tool combines a hardened steel punch tip for wear resistance with a corrosion-resistant stainless steel handle for improved durability and easy maintenance. Its short 90 mm length offers enhanced control and access in confined spaces, while the low weight reduces user fatigue during repetitive tasks. The simple, single-piece design minimizes points of failure and delivers consistent performance for alignment and pin-driving operations.

Suitable for

• Aligning holes during assembly of machinery or components
• Driving or removing small pins and dowels
• Precision positioning tasks in metalworking and woodworking
• Maintenance and repair work in tight or confined spaces

Key specifications

• Material: durable steel body with stainless steel handle
• Overall length: 90 mm
• Weight: approximately 20 g
• Tip type: drift punch (rounded/centered striking tip for alignment and pin driving)
• Construction: single-piece, hardened tip for wear resistance

How to use

Hold the drift punch by the stainless steel handle and position the tip at the point where hole alignment or pin driving is required. Lightly tap the blunt end with a hammer to transfer controlled impact through the punch to the target. For aligning holes, use incremental taps while adjusting component position until alignment is achieved. When driving or removing pins, ensure the punch is centered on the pin and apply steady, measured strikes to avoid bending or damage.

Recommendations

Use eye protection while striking the drift punch and ensure the workpiece is securely supported. Avoid using excessive force that could deform the punch or the components being worked on. Regularly inspect the tip for wear and maintain cleanliness to prevent corrosion despite the stainless handle; store the tool in a dry place when not in use.
