Since purchasing this set I have been able to save time and frustration in repairs or mistakes. I also use it when I refinish some of my original pens that I made and the finish was not to my liking.
A must have for any shop.

These are well worth the money!!

I never write reviews for any products that I buy, but these simple rods really do the trick. I have salvaged many parts. Hardest part is hand-holding a pen while disassembling it (if you want to save the turning.
Reviewer: Gary Glatfelter (Puyallup, WA)
A really great variety of punches. I like the stand to keep them organized making it easier to keep them together.
Reviewer: Michael Goetz (Cumming, GA)
Within a few hours after receiving this punch set I took on the pile of old rejects that needed dis-assembly. The range of sizes provided a punch for every part I needed to remove. I successfully reclaimed enough kits to pay for the product the first time I used it.

This set of punches has come in super handy for many operations involving pen assembly - disassembly. There is even a punch to clean out the brass tube if you get a little glue inside.
Reviewer: Terrence Thompson (Pembroke Pines, FL)
This collection of punches is probably more than you'll ever need, but it is a good value for the money. I have already discovered another use for the punch rods in an unrelated project, so I recommend the investment.
Reviewer: Terry Kemmerer (Bloomsburg, PA)
Has a good variety of punches.
How can you beat getting all of these punches in their own little container for such a low price as compared to the prices of all the individual punches they sell for knocking your pen apart?
Simply a great bargain. One problem I had, though. I was taking a pen apart and a particular punch I was using broke as I was striking it. Only about 3/8" broke off of one end. I suppose it was just a bad place in the metal and I just took it over to the grinder and squared off the end again. I'll let it go at that. If any more break, however, they all go back.

Originally bought the set for two reasons... One, I needed to disassemble and refinish a kit and two the number of punches means I could use it on just about any pen kit or any other application where I needed a pin punch. In the short time I have had it, the punch set has more than paid for itself. I have used it on about 5 pens and drive out pins in a brace I restored. One word of caution, select the punch size well. It is easy to smash up the ends of the soft metal and plastics used in some kits.
This set fits almost every pen kit for disassembly for whatever reason. Great tool
Reviewer: Justin Blanchard (Lake Stevens, WA)
I don't know how I got along without these little tools! I've had them for less that a week and already used them multiple times. They are very handy.
Reviewer: James Harris (Chesapeake, VA)
I purchased this set a short time ago and because I do alot of old and new pen repair work I don't know how I got along without it. It makes working on all types of pens alot eaiser. Thanks for another great product!!
Reviewer: Shawn Clarke (Oak Creek, WI)
This works great. I had a number of pens that I painstakingly took apart with other disassembly tools. This made it so much easier to get them apart and salvage the blanks.
Reviewer: Dennis Falk (Taylor, TX)
Used it the first day. Was able to salvage parts that in the past were just thrown away.
Reviewer: James Bryant (Leesburg, GA)
This punch set is not only easy to use but will save you more than it's cost in just a few uses. It more than paid for itself in just being able to fix three pen sets.
Reviewer: Jacques Roch (Ste Marthe sur le Lac, Quebec)
The product itself is great! not only do I use it as a disassembly kit, I also use the rods laying on their sides as shims when I need small increments for spacers!
but, the price of $20 offered prior to reception of the product(waiting list price) was lowered to $16.95 just a few weeks after I received mine.
Reviewer: JOEL HENENBERG (HOUSTON, TX)
Fabulous tool, would not be without it.
Reviewer: Gary Patrick (Marion, OH)
Assembled a pen kit wrong and with this punch set and all different sizes I had no problem taking apart and assembling the pen kit properly. Love all the different sizes of punches they will come in handy for other project as well.
Well worth the price.
Reviewer: Sherman Loges (Renton, WA)
Fit and finish could be improved. The assortment of punch sizes should enable most people to disassemble pens and pencils and other similar projects made by pressing fittings on to a turned center.
Reviewer: Claude Moyse (Altamont, NY)
I have had the opportunity to use this only once since I got it but it worked very well. The trick is to hit the metal rod with a regular hammer and not with a rubber one.
Reviewer: Richard Pippin (Madison, MS)
The pen disassembly tool has been useless to me. I have not been able to salvage any parts with it.
This product has payed for itself ten-fold already. Everyone who makes pens should own one.
Thank you
At Last! Saves time and money. Of course, since I never make a mistake, it just sits there :)
This punch set is worth it's weight in gold- sizes appear to cover every pen tube in existence. Fair to good quality - could be made of a bit harder steel, but for the money a real pen blank saver!
PERFECT FIT TO SALAVAGE A PEN TURNING
Great tools; comes in very handy.
The punches themselves are fine, and have come in handy.
This set is a dream to use when taking apart a pen. You get a perfect fit with the very small increase in the size of the rods.
Reviewer: Tony Eldridge (Tupelo, MS)
I had been using whatever would fit-an old drill bit, a pencil,whatever, to push out parts. But this set provides the right size rod, for pens AND for lots of other uses. Very useful, and a reasonable price.
Reviewer: JL (Dallas, TX)
I've used this set on about 3 pens so far when I needed to disassemble something, and it works very well. I recommend the set.
This is the best product you have come up with yet. Now I can safely remove all hardware from almost any kit.
Thanks Penn State
Reviewer: William Moore (Avondale, CO)
A very handy set to have around the shop. I have used it not only to take apart a couple of pens gone wrong, but with the wide selection of sizes I was able to straighten out some out of round tubes.
It is fantastic to finally have the proper sized tools to disassemble kits. With the many different sizes of tubes it is very nice to have such a large selection on hand to punch apart the different pieces without damaging them.
Until I bought this kit I had a lot of wasted money spent on wasted pen kits that I could not salvage from shop mishaps.
Reviewer: Kevin Surgeon (Cincinnati, OH)
The best tool to disassemble pens and pencils. This kit covers every size you can imagine. Saved me hours when it came time to refinish my daily use pens
In my opinion this set of punches was heaven sent! Disassembling anything other than 7mm or 10mm kits had me turning my shop upside down, looking for a screwdriver or anything else that would fit and work as a punch. I ordered this set as soon as PSI offered it in the catalog and it was an immediate success - I salvaged (4) pens that had been sitting on my bench for months. It paid for itself the first time I used it. These punches will prove to be invaluable to anyone making a variety of pen kits. Thank you PSI for yet another innovative tool!
