Are they adequate for gunsmithing?

I can't answer your question because I bought these for the same reason, when they arrived I inspected the punches and found that 2 of the smaller punches were improperly ground so I returned them with out using them. Purchased a set of Grace punches that worked great.

Yes, that is exactly what I've been using them for and they work great! You may still need specialized punches for other work, like Roll Pin STARTER punches and some others if you are working on an AR platform that you can get from Brownells or Midway but all in all they are excellent!

I used the smallest ones to drive the pins in for my AR build and bent them all. I could straighten them out and keep using them but hardened steel would be better. Spend more up front for better tools and have fewer headaches later. I learned.

I'm a gunsmith, and these work great with Duracoat. If cleaned and oiled properly, they will work for quite a while with no problems.

They are workable, but in the end you get what you pay for. Keep the threads clean of salt and spices, start the procedure carefully and don't force it. They have worked great for me, but we aren't talking union-made heavy stainless. Well worth the money, but not Bentley or Rolls Royce quality.

I've used this mainly for gunsmithing. Trimming barrels for re-crowning, cutting new slots on stripped screw heads, etc. Should cut through sheet metal easily. Works okay as long as pressure isn't too much. Let the tool do the work. I have since moved up to a Dremel. Had I the money at the time, that would have been my first choice.

Odd question... good in what way? They shoot fairly straight depending on the quality of you gun. They're generally not misshapen or anything. They worked fine in both my cheaper airsoft pistol and my expensive air soft pistol.

These will fit with minor sanding if your going to put them on your self. I would recommend paying a gun smith to instal these as they can do a better job and professionally sight them in.

They're decent. I use this for my onsite carry kit, I use Wiha screwdrivers on the bench. Spend the money on Wiha drivers if you're going to be using them all day every day.

I think so. They are good enough for me and a compound bow and I have a 6ft arm span so I can draw fairly long.

Yes, use them over and over and over! I practice with my S&W; 625 all the time. On a revolver however you may have to sand the outside down for each one to fit in the cylinder chambers. In autos there is no issue.

Yes, they are better and easier to install, and they don't require as much gunsmithing.

They should work just fine. I use them for my 7.62 (.30 cal.) rifle, .38 special revolver, .40 S&W pistol, .44 black powder revlover and .45 pistol.

I,m sure they are fine. I used picanny bases I already had for an ar-15 style 22

Yes. I have a set in my 686. Gunsmith installation is pretty much the only way to put them in.

I don't think so. I thought they were quite adequate. Depends on what you choose to use them for.

I think they might work for a BB gun that has a bit of oomph, but try out one box. They're cheap enough.
