The Snap-on Demo 18" Taper Punch, No. SPDP18R, is designed to easily tackle large applications. Made in the U.S.A., its heavy duty 9/16" steel tapered tip eases effort for installation and removal of axle pins, clutch/transmission work, and suspension components. Weighing 3.2 lbs, the tapered punch is capable of taking the heavy pounding needed to loosen pins. Its sturdy nylon handle provides a comfortable, protected grip due to its flared handle end, which protects hands from any off-center hammer strikes.
