Cylindrical Punch Beta Tools 10 mm BE31-10 (000310010)

Cylindrical Punch Beta Tools 10 mm BE31-10 is a hardened-steel hand tool designed for driving out pins, rivets and similar fittings in workshop and maintenance environments. The punch features a 10 mm diameter tip and a straight shank that provides precise alignment and effective impact transfer for mechanical disassembly, vehicle repair and general metalworking tasks. Its compact form factor makes it suitable for use in confined spaces and for portable tool kits.

Advantages

The hardened-steel construction ensures durability and resistance to deformation under repeated striking. A precisely ground tip and straight shank enable accurate positioning and reduced risk of damage to surrounding parts. The compact size and balanced weight improve control during impact operations, while the simple, single-piece design minimizes failure points and supports long service life.

Suitable for

• Driving out dowel pins and taper pins
• Removing rivets and retaining pins
• Mechanical disassembly and maintenance work
• Vehicle repair and bodywork tasks
• Metalworking, fabrication and fitting operations

Key specifications

• Tip diameter: 10 mm
• Material: hardened steel
• Tool type: cylindrical punch (solid punch)
• Finish: ground tip for precision
• Form factor: straight shank for alignment

How to use

Select the punch with the appropriate tip diameter for the pin or rivet to be removed. Place the tip against the centre of the pin or rivet head, ensuring the punch is aligned with the axis of the part to avoid side-loading. Strike the punch squarely with a hammer, applying controlled blows until the pin is driven free. If access is limited, reposition the workpiece or use support blocks to prevent damage to surrounding surfaces. After use, inspect the tip for deformation and dress or replace the punch if necessary.

Usage recommendations

Use eye protection and appropriate hand protection when striking the punch. Avoid using a mushroomed or damaged punch head; maintain the tip by light grinding if worn. Match punch diameter to the target fastener and support thin or fragile workpieces to prevent distortion during driving operations.
