Roll pin punches near Pittsburgh

Cheap punches suck. I had gotten a Wheeler engineering set, and half of the punches bent as I used them.

The cheap on ones also have a pilot that is too big and turns roll pins in to rivets!

Bought mine from Amazon. For a seldom-used tool, they're fine.

Amazon is amazing! I really can't believe the stuff they have. We even have an account at work. I recently bought some parts for our Bridgeport milling machines. Got 'em faster than I could have anywhere else.

I keep begging them to get an Ebay account!

I bought roll pin punches from Brownells back in the 90's when you had to order by mail. They still sell the same set.

Did you know that Walmart sells reloading equipment? Ordered, picked up in store. Surprised me. It was a few years ago. Who knows what they allow now.

Marvel at these politically correct sites that won't allow sale of guns and certain gun parts, but are happy to make load$ from gun accessories.

The first time I got my hands on roll pin punches, I thought they were a set of center punches.

Heard that years ago on other , more national gun forums. Walmarts in the Northwest states had good selections of reloading stuff and handguns , and could order anything ya wanted.
Probably 45yrs ago , I looked thru the Servicestar Hardware Stores (formerly American Hardware Supply , later True Value) master catalog and there wasn't a firearms related thing they didn't list that could be ordered by a Servicestar Hardware store that also had an FFL. Not an uncommon thing years ago.

ACE Hardware in Limerick sells some guns but I never looked at their inventory.
