[TowerTalk] Bull pin / drift pin

[Joseph or Ruth Patrick]

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 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
