Cylindrical Punch Beta Tools BE31-6 — 6 mm Diameter

The Beta Tools BE31-6 cylindrical punch features a 6 mm diameter hardened steel tip engineered for driving out pins, removing rivets and aligning holes during mechanical and workshop operations. Its straight shank and precisely formed tip deliver reliable impact contact when used with a hammer, providing controlled force transfer for repeatable results in maintenance, assembly and repair tasks that require a 6 mm punch.

Advantages

The solid, hardened steel construction ensures durability and resistance to deformation under repeated blows. A precisely machined 6 mm tip provides accurate engagement with pins and small fasteners, reducing the risk of slippage or damage to surrounding parts. The cylindrical shape and consistent diameter along the working end facilitate precise alignment and straightforward handling in confined or detailed work.

Suitable for

• Driving out roll pins and taper pins with a 6 mm engagement area
• Removing small rivets and press-fit fasteners
• Aligning holes during assembly of metal components
• General maintenance and repair tasks in workshops and garages

Key specifications

• Tip diameter: 6 mm
• Tool type: cylindrical punch for impact use
• Material: hardened steel
• Intended use: manual hammer-driven operations
• Working end: precisely machined, straight cylindrical profile

How to use

Position the punch tip on the centre of the pin, rivet or hole to be driven or aligned. Hold the shank securely and, where possible, support the workpiece to prevent movement. Strike the blunt end of the punch squarely with a suitable hammer, using controlled blows until the pin or fastener is driven free or the holes are aligned. Inspect the tip before use and avoid side impacts that could cause bending or premature wear.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate eye protection and gloves when performing impact operations. Select a hammer with a striking face suitable for the punch size to minimise mushrooming; consider reshaping the punch tip if mushrooming occurs, or replace the tool if the hardened surface is compromised.
