- Drills, countersinks, reamers

Various types of drills, spiral countersinks and 90° included angle countersinks, as well as cylindrical and taper reamers are used for preparing pinned joints.

- Locksmith’s hammers

The pins are driven into the bore holes by means of hand-held hammers of 200 grams to 400 grams weight. Very small pins are driven in with a riveting hammer of 50 grams to 200 grams weight.

- Light-metal hammers

Aluminium hammers are used to drive in pins which might be damaged if other hammers were used.

Aluminium hammers will not cause permanent deformations to cylindrical pins or taper pins.
