wilde tool pr1232.np/mp prick punch, 5/32 in tip, 5 in l, 3/8 in dia shank, high-carbon molybdenum steel

All Wilde punches and chisels are forged from high-carbon molybdenum tool steel and individually heat-treated to make them the toughest striking tools on the market. Wilde punches and chisels are hardened the entire length with a tempered striking end. Pin Punches have a reverse taper point which eliminates the punch from sticking in the work-place. Care should be taken that excessive heat is not obtained when re-sharpening. If the grinding temperature is not controlled, the hardness can be taken out of the immediate area. More importantly, a hard, brittle surface can be set which is very susceptible to fracture.
