How to use

Hold the drift punch by the handle and position the tip into the hole or against the pin that requires alignment or driving. Apply controlled strikes with a suitable hammer to transfer force through the punch; avoid excessive force that could deform the tip or the workpiece. For alignment, insert the tip into the mating holes and tap gently until components are correctly positioned. Ensure the workpiece is secured and wear appropriate eye protection while striking.

Recommendations

Use the punch only for alignment and pin-driving tasks for which it is intended. Keep the tip free of burrs and inspect the handle and shaft periodically for signs of damage. Do not use the tool as a pry bar or striking surface for heavy chisels. Store in a dry place to prevent corrosion and maintain tool condition.
