Frequently Asked Questions
What is included in the Britool Hallmark HMPC8TC Punch & Chisel Set?
The HMPC8TC contains 8 professional punches and chisels: four pin punches in 3mm, 4mm, 5mm and 6mm, three cold chisels in 14mm, 16mm and 19mm, plus an 11mm utility chisel. This selection covers a useful range of common automotive, engineering, fabrication and workshop applications.
What are the pin punches used for?
The four 3mm–6mm pin punches are designed for driving and removing suitably sized pins from mechanical assemblies and components. They are particularly useful for automotive repairs, machinery servicing, engineering and general workshop maintenance where controlled and accurate striking is required.
What can the cold chisels in this set be used for?
The 14mm, 16mm and 19mm cold chisels are intended for appropriate metalworking applications such as cutting and splitting metal and assisting with the removal of suitable seized components or fasteners. Always select the correct chisel size for the job and use appropriate striking and personal protective equipment.
What is the benefit of the comfort grips and hand guards?
Each punch and chisel incorporates an ergonomic comfort grip with a shock-absorbing hand guard. This helps improve handling, reduces vibration transferred to the hand and provides additional separation between the user's hand and the striking area during workshop use.
What are the Britool Hallmark punches and chisels made from?
The tools are manufactured from high-quality hardened steel, providing the strength and durability required for demanding professional workshop applications. Correct tool selection and striking technique remain important to maximise performance and service life.
Are individual replacement punches and chisels available?
Yes. Individual replacement tools are available separately, allowing a worn, damaged or missing punch or chisel to be replaced without purchasing another complete HMPC8TC set. This is particularly useful for professional workshops using Tool Control storage systems.
