Description
The Lyman Armorer's 18 Piece Hex Punch Set is one of those tools that quietly earns its keep on a gunsmithing bench. You get a complete range of steel punches covering the small pin sizes you reach for constantly, all held in a custom walnut block that's engraved with each punch size. No more digging through a drawer or squinting at unmarked shafts trying to find the right diameter. Everything has its slot, everything is labeled, and it looks good sitting out on the bench too.
What the Lyman Hex Punch Set Handles
Punch work is the backbone of firearm disassembly and assembly, and this set is put together with that in mind. The steel punches are ground for driving out pins, tapping fittings, and general detail work where a correctly sized punch matters. The hex bodies give you a flat to grip and keep the punches from rolling off the bench, which is a small thing until you've chased a punch across the floor a few times. Lyman builds these to stand up to repeated hammer work on pins and small parts.
Why the Walnut Stand Makes a Difference
Plenty of punch kits come in a plastic pouch or a blister pack that falls apart after a month. The walnut bench block here is the real selling point for a lot of folks. Each punch drops into its own labeled hole, so you can see at a glance what you've got and what's missing. It keeps the set organized during a build and keeps everything staged where you need it.
This kit fits right in whether you're an AR builder swapping trigger and bolt catch pins, someone working on pistols and revolvers, or a hobbyist who just wants a proper set of punches instead of a random collection. Lyman has been making gunsmithing tools for a long time, and this set reflects that experience with a straightforward, well-organized selection you'll keep coming back to.

Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of work is the Lyman Armorer's Hex Punch Set good for?
It covers general gunsmithing tasks like driving out pins, drifting parts, and detail work on small components. The range of steel punches makes it handy for AR builds, pistol and revolver work, and routine maintenance. It's a solid all-around set for anyone who wants properly sized punches instead of a mismatched drawer full of them.
Are the punches in this set made of steel?
Yes, the punches are steel and built to stand up to repeated hammer work on pins and fittings. Lyman grinds them for reliable service, so they hold up well with regular use on the bench.
What makes the walnut stand different from a standard punch case?
The walnut bench block is engraved with each punch size, so every punch has a labeled home and you can spot the right one at a glance. It also keeps the punches from rolling around and makes it obvious if one is missing. It's a step up from the plastic pouches or blister packs that come with a lot of budget punch kits.
Why do the punches have hex bodies instead of round?
The hex shape gives you a flat to grip and keeps the punches from rolling off the workbench. It's a practical detail that saves you from chasing dropped punches across the shop floor during a build.
