Made to Last

Farm work is tough on tools, and this Mayhew punch is built to take it. The steel construction can handle the shock of hammer blows and the pressure needed to move stubborn components without bending or breaking. The black oxide finish holds up to weather and shop conditions better than bare steel, so it’ll stay looking good even after years of hard use.

Good to Know

Start with light taps to get the taper started, then use steady pressure to gradually align the holes. Keep the tip clean and sharp for best results, and remember that patience beats brute force every time when precision alignment is the goal. A quick file touch-up keeps the tip sharp if it gets mushroomed from heavy use.
