The BROWNELLS REPLACEABLE STARTER PUNCH .039 DIA. is a precision gunsmithing tool designed for breaking loose tight pins and initiating pin removal without causing damage to firearms. The punch features a 3″ handle and 1″ replaceable pins designed to fit Brownells’ famous Gunsmith’s Replacement Punch Set Handles. The .039″ punch is sized for 3⁄64″ diameter pins.
This starter punch excels where durability and precision matter most. The replaceable tip design prevents unnecessary tool replacement—if the tip bends during a tough extraction, simply swap it for a new one rather than discarding the entire punch. Replacement pins are sold in packs of 6, making this an economical choice for professional gunsmiths and serious firearm enthusiasts who work with small-diameter pins regularly. The short shaft design provides better control and reduces the risk of bending during critical pin work.
