fesm_ndt Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 I thought this was just a heavy duty, pin chisel, but then I noticed the markings. Any ideas? Any use to anyone?

Richard Farrant Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 (edited) I thought this was just a heavy duty, pin chisel, but then I noticed the markings. Any ideas? Any use to anyone? Mike, Just a standard marking on army tools, the last two groups of the NSN. It looks like a gouging chisel, but cannot see the end to be sure. You will find this marking on anything from hammers to sockets. A check on the NSN says it is Punch, drive pin.

I was concerned I was whacking a special tool with a big hammer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferretfixer Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 It's what's know as a Taper Pin Punch. Nothing special or rare. A standard issue tool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulbrook Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Dont worry - whacking this special tool with the REME's other special tool (Hammer Fine Adjustment) is perfecly acceptable. If you have problems you might want to move up to Hammer Coarse Adjustment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fesm_ndt Posted October 21, 2013 Author Share Posted October 21, 2013 REME or in Aussie RAEME (Royal Australian Easy Money Earners) :-D The toolbox I got off ebay had around 7 chisels in it which have been getting a hammering (excuse my pun) as really useful at slicing metal that the angle grinder cant get into. Apart from a hammer we also used the calibrated drop method for fixing electronic or other fiddly things. The method is hold said fiddly item 1 foot off concrete and drop it. If it worked, its fixed, if not repeat as necessary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robin craig Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 With tongue in cheek, as Mike and I have had a couple of sidebar email exchanges and I sense some cameraderie, I could be tempted to put a caption to the picture of "a tool, holding a tool" but some would say that was cruel;) All meant in the best possible taste:-D R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferretfixer Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 This particular type of tool, was GENERALLY issued to Vehicle Mech's & Metalsmith's. The tools I used later in Service as an Armourer. Were of much finer construction, for precision use! Having said that the 'Birmingham Screwdriver' (Hammer!) was a VERY useful tool, IF. Used with correct diligence!..................... I will leave it to your imagination as to what Mechanics & Reccy Mechs would term Diligent!.....:-X Sorry Guys! Only Joshing! :cheesy: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
