Looking for a quality set of Roll Pin punches and general punches....I am looking for QUALITY punches that are soft Chinese made crap....(OK I'm guessing Chinese made). But I have gone through too many cheap punches that bend and break due to their quality I'm sure, and NOT because my pins/roll pins are too 'tight'.

Thanks

Not sure where they are made, but I've been using the Guntec set Primary Arms sells with good results.

I bought some roll pin punches from Snap On on recommendations here. You can definitely tell the steel is of better quality than most "gunsmithing" punches.

Never seen Starret roll pin punches.
Their flat punches are excellent (and I have sets in a couple lengths).

I have some off brand roll pin punches with hemisphere noses.
The smallest size are weak.

I have made hollow punches for smaller roll pins that work very sell.
The pin is inserted into the hollow and only protrudes a short distance for starting, and then I switch over to a shorter hollow or even a flat.
