🔍 Key Concepts

• Hand tools for fitting and assembly – what each type of punch, chisel, or drift is actually designed to do • Difference between an aligning (drift) punch and a driving punch • Why precise alignment of parts and fastener holes matters before inserting bolts or pins

💭 Think About

• Think about situations where you have two parts that need to be fastened together with a bolt or pin, but the holes are slightly off – which tool would you use first? • Consider which tool shape and strength you’d want for loosening jammed bolts or removing snap rings – is that what an aligning punch is built for? • Ask yourself: is an aligning punch mainly for applying heavy impact to move hardware, or for adjusting position so hardware can be inserted later?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify the primary purpose of an aligning (drift) punch in standard marine or mechanical tool kits • Check which task requires precise alignment of holes rather than forceful driving or removal of parts • Eliminate options that clearly involve turning, gripping, or prying actions that punches are not normally designed for
