Looking for suggestions for a good set of gunsmithing punches and hammer.
I currently use a small, tack-driving type hammer and some simple, long steel punches. Looking to upgrade to more purpose-build tools.
I’d be using them primarily for working on ARs and Beretta 92s. This is a hobby, not a daily use situation.
Punches suitable for starting and driving out roll pins, as well as staking castle nuts and B92 parts would be desirable.
Not sure what traits are most desirable in a hammer - what weight, size, impact surfaces, etc?
Ideally in a set, but also open to just a set of punches and a separate recommendation for a hammer.
Up to $50-$60 seems reasonable.
Input from those with experience here is appreciated.
