Punches and chisels. It sounds like a basic tool set, but there is nothing basic about them. Manufactured from special alloy steel that is differentially heat treated to help toughness, Snap-on Punch and Chisel sets (PPC715BK and PPCSG710) are considered the industry standard by the service technicians who demand the best.
“Our customers know that when they purchase a Snap-on Punch and Chisel set, they are getting the best set on the market,” said Gary Petersen, product manager for Snap-on. “From the steel we use to the innovation we incorporate in the manufacturing process, Snap-on punches and chisels are designed to improve productivity and efficiency for service technicians while also providing them a durable and a safe set of tools that they will use for a long time.”
The 16-piece Snap-on Punch and Chisel Set (PPC715BK) features:
• Anvil heads on punches and chisels are machined to a modified parabolic curve.
• Design directs the striking force to the center of the tool head to allow slow metal displacement.
• Parabolic curve controls mushrooming to reduce chipping and splitting.
• Tough steel alloy machined and differentially heat treated for optimum performance.
• Hardness of the striking head is reduced to help toughness and add qualities that result in a slower mushrooming of the striking surface.
The 10-piece Snap-on Punch and Chisel Set (PPCSG710) features:
• Ergonomic soft grip handle provides a powerful grip, improves the thermal sensation in cold work environments and reduces strike vibration.
• Semi-spherical striking area controls mushrooming to help reduce chipping and splitting.
• Cutting edges on chisels are hand ground to consistently produce a quality cutting edge.
• Black oxide coated to prevent chipping and maintain a secure fastener engagement.
