Product Description Back-out punch (3/4 nose diameter) with 15 wooden handle. Used for driving out bolts, rivets, and pins. Pein or nose end is heat-treated for strength, the hammer face is not heat treated allowing a standard hammer to be used for striking. Forged tool steel head, Made in the USA with a clear lacquer finish to deter rust. Striking face is hand beveled. Heat-treated after machining for increased depth of hardness. Heat treatment produces fine grain structure and Rc 46-54 (Rockwell) for safety and toughness. 15' American-made hickory handle, kiln-dried before turning. The eye section is then dried below 10% moisture content prior to assembly. The handle is hydraulically inserted into the head and secured with a serrated aluminum wedge, providing a very secure mechanical bond. Approximately 1/2" of handle length is removed during assembly.
