HHIP 8600-0041 28-Piece Transfer Punch Set — 3/32 to 1/2 in by 64ths + 17/32, Undersize .0025, Hardened Steel, Indexed Stand

Overview

The HHIP 8600-0041 28-Piece Transfer Punch Set is a professional-grade toolkit designed to help machinists, toolmakers, and metalworkers transfer hole locations with reliable precision. The set spans a complete range from 3/32 in to 1/2 in by 64ths, plus a 17/32 in punch, providing the right size for each task. Each punch is ground to an undersize of 0.0025 in, which supports precise center-point transfers between workpieces. At 4-7/8 in long, these punches balance reach with control, making clean, repeatable marks easier whether you’re working on plates, fixtures, or mating components.

Key Features

• COMPLETE PRECISION SET: 28 punches from 3/32" to 1/2" by 64ths plus 17/32", all 4-7/8" long for secure handling.
• ACCURATE UNDERSIZE FIT: Each punch is undersized by 0.0025" to ensure a snug slip fit and precise center transfers into drilled or tapped holes.
• HARDENED TOOL STEEL CONSTRUCTION: Heat-treated and tempered carbon steel resists deformation and maintains tip integrity under repeated use.
• CORROSION-RESISTANT BLACK OXIDE FINISH: Protective coating reduces rust and keeps a low glare in busy shop environments.
• ORGANIZED METAL STORAGE INDEX: Labeled stand keeps punches clean, sorted, and easy to grab, streamlining workflow.

In Practice

Use this set to align plates, fixtures, and mating components with consistent hole locations. It excels in layout, assembly, repair, and die work. For blind holes, HHIP offers compatible blind hole spotters and transfer inserts (sold separately) to expand capabilities. The range and undersize design support accurate center transfers, making it a dependable choice in moderate to high-volume shops.

Real-world scenarios include transferring drilled or tapped hole positions between workpieces, duplicating hole patterns across assemblies, and marking precise centers for subsequent drilling or tapping steps. The long reach provides leverage and control, helping maintain accuracy across larger or stacked workpieces without sacrificing handling ease.

Care and Longevity

Store the punches in the labeled metal index to preserve organization and tip integrity. The hardened ends tolerate regular hammer strikes and the black oxide finish helps resist corrosion, extending service life in daily shop use. Regular inspection and proper handling will help maintain consistent performance over time.
