Drift punch Gedore 570003 Steel Blue 105 mm 45 g

The Gedore 570003 drift punch Steel Blue is a compact precision tool designed for controlled driving and aligning of pins, rivets and other small components in metalworking and assembly tasks. Made of durable steel with a blue protective finish and a length of 105 mm, this 45 g drift punch delivers a balance of strength and maneuverability for close-quarters work. Manufactured in Germany, it is intended for professional and hobby use where accuracy and reliable material properties are required.

Advantages

The solid steel construction provides resistance to deformation during repeated impacts while the blue finish adds corrosion protection and visual identification. Its 105 mm length and light 45 g weight make the tool easy to position and control in tight spaces. The precision-ground tip ensures consistent contact with pins and rivets, reducing the risk of damaging surrounding surfaces.

Suitable for

• Aligning holes and driving out or in small pins and rivets
• Metalworking, sheet metal assembly and light fabrication
• Automotive and machinery maintenance where small fasteners require precision
• Workshop, industrial assembly and precision fitting tasks

Key specifications

• Material: hardened steel
• Protective finish: blue coating for corrosion resistance
• Overall length: 105 mm
• Weight: 45 g
• Tip: precision-ground drift tip for controlled striking
• Origin: manufactured in Germany

How to use

Hold the drift punch by the shank and place the tip against the pin, rivet or component to be driven or aligned. Use a hammer of appropriate size to strike the butt of the punch with controlled blows, transferring force evenly through the tool. Ensure correct tip alignment before striking to avoid slippage and to protect adjacent surfaces. For removal tasks, start with light taps and increase force gradually until the component moves.

Recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety glasses and gloves. Select a hammer that matches the size and weight of the punch to maintain control. Inspect the punch regularly for wear or deformation and replace if the tip or shank shows significant damage. Store the tool in a dry place to preserve the blue protective finish.
