Thanks rpenterics! I have been needing a set and considering the Snap on 4 piece is 5x the cost and made in china this is a great deal. I was also eyeing up the inspection camera that sears had on sale for $75.

Much appreciated, many thanks!

I've been wanting a set of these for a while. With my "working" assortment of home brewed race punches, it was pretty easy to put them off for the regular price.

Again sir, thanks!

Great price and great tool. Think I paid 60 for my set, they are real hany for axle housings.

 

[EdJack]

I'm on the fence for this one, don't do bearing work often.

Anybody know any coupon codes that work for this? I can't find any since it is a Hot Buy. If I could knock another 5 bucks off the price with a coupon code, it would seal the deal.

For me the price is good but $7.50 for shipping kills it.

Received my set today and they are worth the $39 spent.

Showing 59.99 for me so I guess I missed the boat. I could really use a set of these. I rebuild axles all the time

I passed on this deal. Now that I see the actual pics, I wish I would have jumped on it. That's the problem with some of the pics on Sears, the product doesn't look that great until you get it. I got the Mayhew 150 chisels a few weeks back on the Sears website, they looked like a handful of crappy chisels on the Sears website. But when they arrived, they where high end chisels in a real leather pouch. A1 quality.

Looks like the case here as well. The Sears website shows a handful of loose bars, but what arrives looks awesome.

I look at other websites for details and pictures of things on sale at Sears all of the time. The Sears website does leave a lot to be desired.

This deal is back on! I found it under deal of the day, so it might be 10/31 only!

 

[EdJack]

Killer deal. Thanks.

I passed the first time around, but jumped on it this time after I saw how great the quality of these tools are. Free shipping with SYWRMax subscription.

Thanks for the update. I, too, was bummed when I saw the actual pictures of what I'd missed. Now I am gonna own one.

is there something special about these punches compared to using a general purpose one?

1. Mayhew
2. Made in the USA
3. High quality steel
4. Pouch included
5. About 10 bucks per punch
6. Pound on them forever, pass then down a generation, pound them some more, pass them down another generation, repeat.

I'm very happy with every Mayhew product I've ever owned.

Thanks for responding, but that wasn't my question. Ignore all of the above factors, does the design of these punches make it easier or better than general purpose punches for removing bearing races? If so, what makes their design better for that purpose?

I have the same question. I'm very tempted to take advantage of this deal, but I'm having a hard time justifying in my mind the need for these over my Craftsman punches that I've been using for years and are still going strong. The CM's aren't as long or beefy, but they get the job done and they are also made in the USA, so I need more of a reason to pull the trigger, and time is running out!!!

 

[efb16acrx]

awesome. Just ordered them. Needed some different race punches.

Its the shape. Better contact, less destroying races and having to punch out lots of little pieces. If you do bearing work on a regular basis, these and a set of race/seal installers are indispensable.

 

[HighPlainsWrencher]

These punches are oval shaped which spreads the force of the hammer blow over a bigger area of the race which results in a lesser chance of the race getting screwed up. Your regular punches have a smaller area which directs the force of your hammer blow into a pin point area on the race which runs a higher risk of screwing parts up.

If you took a ball peen hammer and hit a piece of wood with each end which end would do the most damage? Why?


I went to buy this set and it was out of stock on the link posted. sad day.

but if you're taking them out to replace with a new part, why would I care about messing up the old part?

Then you don't need them.

The deal is over at sears again. Tooltopia has them for $54.

 

[Buckgnarly]

For me it was the length, and the oval makes more contact area so the race comes out that much faster and easier.

 

[Hootbro]

The ends are flared and concave to engage more area of the bearing race. The concave portion also helps from scaring the inner wall of the item you are driving the bearing race from. Also, the increased length is handy for doing rear end drive line work.

Granted for most, these are a one trick pony punch set, but if you do quite a bit of bearing work, they are nice.

 

[MadMark]

Has anyone picked up an extra set they would sell

 

[EdJack]

Mine just arrived today. Here's some more pics. Great deal next time they come around again at the $39 price point.
