Please don't laugh (I'm new, but learning fast), but I had never heard of Starrett until last year when I ran across a reference in a product review on another website (something like, "It's no Starrett."). After researching further and not finding one negative comment about Starrett, I decided to invest the extra money in this punch set. No regrets, baby! This is a super high quality set. Nice and solid, with some weight to it. Knurled handles for easy gripping. If you want a cheap no-name (probably Chinese) punch set from someplace like CheaperThanDirt for $10, then fine, more power to you; but as someone having just come from that and ending up frustrated & angry because the dang things bend and break in two when trying to remove a simple pin from a firearm--not to mention scratching the finish when it does--my advice is to save your money, bide your time, and invest wisely in something that'll last a lifetime and do the job. This Starrett set is just the ticket.Update (2/7/14):I love this set, and it still gets my highest 5-star recommendation. However, the 1/16" punch has bent/broke on a couple of occasions and required replacement. If I remember correctly, I believe the two culprits were (1) the safety lever pins on the Beretta 92/96 and (2) the sear pin on a Taurus M66 revolver. In both cases, the pins were in very tight (the Taurus pin is staked) and required a good whack to loosen. In any case, it was a minor setback, and no harm done. I now keep spares of the 1/16" punch on hand in case something like this ever happens again. [Ironically, I haven't had a problem since I ordered spares!] This is a great punch set!

I have been using Starrett punches for decades. The quality is still there! I have even used them in a press.

As others have said...great product. Very solid and well constructed. I bought three different sets. Two steel (one is a set of extended drive length punches for really long pins) and a brass set (for work on guns where there's risk of doing damage if you screw up). I've already used these twice now and was very happy. I took off one star because of the packaging or case. These came in a cheap soft plastic case. It's okay, but I don't expect it will last. Plus it looks totally different. The brass ones came in a very nice nylon case that will last forever. The longer extended drive ones didn't come with a case at all. They were just in a box wrapped in paper. Seemed odd. Love to see them provide nice nylon cases for all of them! Sorry, I like to be organized with my tools.These are a little expensive compared to other brands, but worth the money in my opinion.

Starrett is the only brand I will use as most other's are either a weak alloy or poorly machined. If you want a job well done, don't cheap out over a few dollars.
