Hot Punches

Description

Hot Punches are used by Blacksmiths and Farriers to punch holes in hot metal whilst it is being Forged.

Features and Uses

They are not Hardened and Tempered since this would be ‘drawn’ by the heat from the metal. They are normally struck with a Sledgehammer or the smaller Lump Hammer
