Does the brass punches are genuine brass non-marring non-sparking punches?

I have not used them too much, but they have worked very well when I did use them and they have not done any damage to the guns I have used them on.

spend a little more and buy better set, but if you are looking for real soft brass punches this your set. FYI will bend first use.

yes it is. Trick is to make sure tool is very hot and punch straight down. Doesn't take too much pressure if tool is hot enough. Hope this helps.

Nope, that's why I bought them, they did not work at all. The metal is very soft and bends very easily which ruins the tip when trying to drive the pins out. Avoid these they are a waste of money. I ended up using nail setters that I had laying around and they worked exponentially better than these punches.

i have no reason to believe they are not authentic. I was out hunting with them today and accidentally ran my knuckle across one of them. Glad it wasn't hard I bled quite a bit. The practice heads seem to shoot well and these look just like them just silver not black. Hope this helps.

I've pulled about 20-25 rounds without any problems. Use short quick strikes. Not hard hammering blows.

It says on the package antique brass plated steel. It is actually better and heavier duty than the old ones we had long time ago, so happy with the purchase.

Yes, they are carbide. Every 500 or so rounds I take em out and lube and clean the dies. This press is truly a dream come true. Best buy ever.

The one I've got is stamped 'TAIWAN' in very small letters. There seems to be several on the market at both dearer and cheaper prices, and they all look exactly the same to me. It isn't the prettiest looking piece of kit, but does a very good job. The holes are nice and clean, unlike most of the single hole punches.

No they are not starter punches. They work well for driving out pins associated with firearms servicing.

the people posting the bad reviews DO NOT know how to use thin punches. Pins are tapered they go in from the left and come out from the right unless the manufacturer specifically specifies otherwise. If the piece you are working on is not properly supported, with room for the pin to move as it is being removed, you WILL damage the weakest link, the same goes if the punch is not in proper alignment wit the pin. In complete and brutal honesty, those posting the bad reviews seem to be the tools, not the punches.

Mine appears to be, I have used it in a few duels an nothing was said that it wasn't, but at the same time they were not official tournament duels. Hope this helps a little bit...

Yes, it comes with a good set of a variety of punches. I assembled my lowers with it with ease.

It is, without the Browning emblems. You should know though the grating metal is pretty chintzy. Mine warped with one use. It works well but I will probably add new grating to mine.

Yes you will need a hammer to pound the punch through the leather. These punches are great and work very well with leather and even word.

Sorry, I don't know for sure. However, this slot punch construction is pretty solid and very sturdy for the price that I paid. I hope that helps.

The gears on ours are actual brass. Works great and we don't have to worry about teeth breaking off the gears, like on a previous piper we had.

As far as I know brass doesn't have lead in it. I've had and used mine for a while with no problems.
