Punch / Nail Set / Drift Gedore 8759020, weight 61 g, hardened steel hand tool

Gedore 8759020 is a compact punch / nail set / drift made from chrome-molybdenum-vanadium air-hardening steel (45CrMoV7) and carefully hardened and tempered along its full length. With a length of 150 mm and a weight of 61 g, this hardened steel hand tool features an inductively tempered striking head and a polished working edge with clear varnish. It is manufactured to requirements in accordance with DIN 6450 and is suitable for precise driving, aligning and removal of pins, nails and similar fasteners in workshop and maintenance environments.

Advantages

The Gedore punch offers a combination of durability and precision: high-strength 45CrMoV7 steel construction and full-length hardening provide resistance to impact and wear while the inductively tempered striking head increases service life under repeated hammering. Its polished working edge minimizes burrs and improves fit on pins and nails, and the compact, lightweight design ensures controlled handling during assembly, disassembly and alignment tasks.

Suitable for

• Driving out and setting pins and nails in metal and wood
• Aligning holes and components during assembly
• Light maintenance and repair work in mechanical workshops
• Precision fit-up operations in fabrication and carpentry

How to use

Select a punch of suitable diameter and align its working end with the centre of the pin or nail to be driven or removed. Hold the tool firmly by the shaft using steady pressure and strike the tempered head with a suitable hammer. For alignment tasks, use light, controlled blows until the components are positioned correctly. Maintain straight alignment between punch and fastener to prevent bending or mushrooming of the punch tip. After use, inspect the working edge for wear or deformation and remove any burrs before further operation.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate eye protection and gloves when striking. Avoid using a damaged or excessively mushroomed punch head; regrind or replace the tool if the working edge is deformed. For repeated heavy impacts, choose a larger or purpose-designed tool; this hardened steel punch is intended for precision and light to moderate striking tasks. Store in a dry place to prevent surface corrosion despite varnish protection.
