Overview

The listing gives an item weight of 1.6 pounds and dimensions of 1 x 1.2 x 8.5 inches, noticeably heavier and longer than a typical single pin punch, suggesting this is built for more leverage and striking force. No material or finish spec is provided, so buyers wanting exact steel type will need to look elsewhere in the listing.
