Seems like a fine addition to my workshop

I needed a punch for work on my Sig P320C and selected this one because of other positive reviews and what appeared to be a good selection of sizes and composition. I am well satisfied. Remember... Brass is soft. It is designed to deform before the slightly harder metal pins or other parts (like sights) so that it doesn't mar them. Use them gently and lubricate the part when possible.

Good value..

Nice little set at a reasonable price. I think it does exactly what I think it was marketed to do. Makes for a tidy little complete set in storage box for the home do yourself gunsmith that just has an occasional gun related task to do. It's definitely not on par with premium quality (and priced) brands but it's adequate for the average Joe and the price matches my usage. I would say 5 star based on what you get for price paid. If you have 40 weapons and tinker with them daily there's of course higher quality to be had but otherwise this works.

Two-faced hammer and punches

Nice to have all these punches and two-faced hammer all in one place and in a fitted case.The case even has a few empty recess to place small parts in.

Good, Sturdy Set of Brass Punches

I've been meaning to buy a set of brass punches for years, so having to drive a front sight back in the dovetail, and after reviewing the punch sets on Amazon I picked this set. It seems a lot of these have been purchased on Amazon and they are highly rated. I received them quickly with Amazon Prime and promptly drove the sight into the slot. It took several whacks to get the job done, but I found no damage to the sight or barrel. The face of the punch is slightly flattened and flared which is the place that is supposed to take the beating. A little filing will quickly return it to good shape. Seems like a sturdy set that will do what I want it to.

This hammer and punch set is a must have for gunsmithing. All sizes needed for various tasks in gunsmitting are included in brass, and if you have a need for something a little tougher there is the steel punches included to get those jobs done. The included hammer is very handy with it's double sides. The nylon side is for essentially guaranteed damage avoidance. The brass side is non-maring to most surfaces but has the hardness needed for strikings smaller surfaces or sharp edges that the nylon may take damage from. I've used this kit to build several AR-15 lowers and the brass makes it so much easier to do without so easily scratching your new gun's frame. The carrying case is built well and has places to securely hold the various pieces included in the kit, although I do find that the latches are a bit tough to open - this is both good and bad. Good because it securely keeps the tools inside and bad because it sometimes takes a pry tool to open.

Does what it's designed to do

So I got this primarily to use on my firearms but have also used it on trying to punch out a rusty cotter pin out of a ball joint. I have not had any problems with the punches I've used bending... maybe because I know how much force I need to use? Gents, don't bash them hard.. They are meant to take taps from the provided hammer not hard. Blows. If you're having problems trying to push something out, squirt some penetrating oil. The brass, especially, is not meant to take heavy hits. It's purpose is to give so you don't end up marring what you're punching. All in all, it's a good set for a good price.

high quality tooling and a great case

This is one of three punch sets I keep on my gun workbench. The tools are high quality and have just the right weight to them. The punches are tooled very well, and I've never had an issue with them. The plastic case is very sturdy (unlike some of my other kits) and therefore I actually keep the punches and hammer in the case, as opposed to moving them into a catch all drawer. I'm an amateur smith and appreciate products which make life easier - this is one such product.

Nice portable set

Decent set for the money, the hammer is a little undersized but I guess it has to be in order to fit in the case. I shattered the nylon face through my own incompetence because I was using it to wail on a wrench trying to break a bolt loose. I tried to find a replacement face but could not find one on Amazon small enough. I called Wheeler and they sent me an entire new hammer no charge. Only issue is that the hammer they sent me is the not the one from the set to it is too large to fit in the case, but hey, its free. Great customer service!

Great set to have at home!

Punch set is high quality and works well. I'm sure a professional gunsmith that would use punches for hours every single day might want something different (maybe not), but these are perfect for the home builder or advanced at-home gun owner who can do minor smithing jobs and put together AR's. Any major gunsmithing work should still go to a competent gunsmith. Overall I love this set and would recommend it to just about everyone!

Good value and quality

If you do any amount of firearm disassembly and don't have a set of brass punches already, you should get a set like this as soon as possible. These punches are fairly well made and are a good value. The hammer is also quite handy. Note that some of the smaller diameter punches appear to be made of steel and not brass. Perhaps they are a softer steel than used in most guns, but I wouldn't count on that.
