Striking heads are inductively tempered, and the working edges are polished and protected with a clear varnish. The set is lightweight (123 g) and available in several sizes; special types or sizes are available on request. Some variants (marked with an asterisk) are not standardized.

Advantages

Made from high-grade 45CrMoV7 steel for durability and wear resistance, the punch/nail set features full-length hardening and tempering for consistent toughness. Inductively tempered striking heads improve impact resistance while polished working edges ensure precise contact and reduce surface damage. The clear varnish finish provides basic corrosion protection. Compact weight and multiple sizes increase portability and versatility for different tasks.

How to use

Select the appropriate punch or drift size for the task and position it against the workpiece at the intended point of impact. Hold the tool securely and strike the inductively tempered head with a suitable hammer, using controlled blows to transfer force without slipping. For marking before drilling, use the center punch to create a small indentation. For removing pins or aligning components, use the appropriate drift and apply steady, centered blows. After use, wipe the tool clean and store in a dry place to maintain the varnish protection.

Recommendations

The tool is intended for manual striking applications; avoid using it with power tools or as a pry bar. For safety, wear eye protection when striking, and replace any piece that shows excessive wear, mushrooming of the striking head, or cracks. Request special sizes from the manufacturer if standard variants do not meet your requirements.
