can you use the bronze end as a hammer to pound in pins on runners?

You can do that. But only if you forget the hammer. Or something like that. The ratchet Support the impacts
801494
Yes, but don't replace your hammer with it. It's good for quick hits, or when you can't reach your hammer.
801495
Yes, that is what it is designed for, it is bronze to make it spark proof for high LEL areas

The Bronze Hammer Tip is designed for that purpose and is non-marring and sparkless. Other brands have chrome or plastic hammer tips, or none at all. Also, replacement tips (#BS-63BTIP), pry bars (#BS-63BBAR) and ratchet repair kits (#BS-63BRK) are available.

I don't see how. Maybe clipping another pin with a free weight between stack and pin head? Wouldn't try it.

Yes, you can. This is pretty much what the tool was designed to do. I think I was hoping I could work with thinner material.

I'd say light hammering, such as driving nails, would be ok if you kept your impact point on the end over the steel supports, but if you are going to pull out the 3 pound sledgehammer, it's probably not going to work out well.

you can use as impact on smaller fasteners/screws. the hammer drill part is for use in masonry applications w/ masonry drill bits. depends on what your application is going to be. If you do not plan on using the hammer drill option, I would consider the regular drill or drill driver. I bought mine to use as a hammer drill only. Hope this helps, good luck

I've used pliers... just remember that you hammered at an angle, so apply pressure accordingly so you don't damage the wall or you don't lose your balance

I really don't know. It has a fine metal file on one end and a ceramic finishing file on the other so I would imagine that you could--at least on the ceramic file. I haven't tried it, though. Sorry.

Yes you can. There is an indentation for a 3/8 ratchet or extension in the top of the tap.

I would say no. There is a video on Youtube by nsz85 called "AR-15 - Staking Your Castle Nut Properly" and he uses an automatic (spring-loaded) punch like this one to stake his castle nut. I would recommend a non-automatic punch. You are going to have to hammer the punch to move the metal and that is not the point of this tool. This tool is meant to be used without a hammer, and without a hammer you won't be staking anything! Find a punch that is not spring-loaded, should be cheaper too.

You could, but I think this has more power than you need. I would try a rotary hammer drill (set to hammer only), with a chisel bit.

Yes, however keep your fingers clear since the pins are so small that longer ones tend to bend when shot in following the grain. The 2" pins especially. Expirament on a piece of scrap before using on the finish product. Otherwise pretty much the best pin nailer one can buy. Very little trace of a nail hole.

James, If you have a pin that is hard to pound out this disassembly tool will bend and slide and mare your side of the pin hole. Your better off going to Menards and getting a one piece pin extractor.

Yes, the drivers are made out of tool steel. I believe you could press out a bearing race using a close fit driver, I've only used mine on brass bushings but they'll work fine for small bearings.

totally use the stock hammer myself, however the nickel boron qualities would be equally beneficial, in theory, on a hammer.
1732778
You can use the stock hammer, just keep in mind that the nickel boron is a more durable material so your stock hammer may get worn from constant hitting against the NIB-X BCG. i recommend using the NIX-X Hammer.

It wouldn't work, since you will be creating "movement" from the "hex" part and it will not transfer to the angled end. In other words (in the position pictured) it will move <--->(horizontally), but not vertically. Of course this applies ONLY if using a hammer drill. I don't know if that answer your question.
