Wilde Tool Long Taper (Alignment) Punch 3/8″ x 11″ PLT1232

PLT1232 - 3/8″ x 11″ LONG TAPER PUNCH

All Wilde punches and chisels are forged from high-carbon molybdenum tool steel and individually heat-treated to make them the toughest striking tools on the market.  Wilde punches and chisels are hardened the entire length with a tempered striking end.
Chisel cutting edges are sharpened and re-sharpened to give the keenest points available.  Pin Punches have a reverse taper point which eliminates the punch from sticking in the work-place.
Chisels are designed to be re-sharpened once they become dull.  Care should be taken that excessive heat is not obtained when re-sharpening.  If the grinding temperature is not controlled, the hardness can be taken out of the immediate area.  More importantly, a hard, brittle surface can be set which is very susceptible to fracture.
Always wear safety goggles when using punches and chisels.
