That’s the one! Cheap, too!
Thanks

Subject: Re: [TowerTalk] Bull pin / drift pin
Hey Dick
I've got 3 Craftsman steel punches. # 942902 WF 3/16". The pin end of the
punch is 1/8' dia. The middle is 7/
73 DE K4XZ Joe Patrick

Where do I find a good drift pin / bull pin / barrel pin for this purpose?
Klein Tools and SteelErectorTools.com <http://steelerectortools.com/> offer
some really hefty ones for
steel
construction, and I’ve found little drift punch sets at Sears and Ace
Hardware and Harbor Freight, but not one that’s about the right size for
this. I think a ¼” point diameter would be about right, maybe the large
diameter would be ¾”, perhaps 6” long?
Something that cleared the holes a little bit so I didn’t have to force the
bolts through would be helpful. These are new sections that haven’t met
one
another before. I got the top plate on with a rubber mallet, but that’s not
going to work with 100# tower sections.
Thanks!
Dick, K6KR
