I am trying to put VIN numbers on my trailers will this set work on hardened steel?

Hardened steel (e.g. High carbon steel) that is harder than the punches' steel will not work, however trailers are usually constructed from mild steel, so these should work okay for mild steel. You should get a visible impression but don't expect the impressions to be very deep. Also, a commonly used alternative is to punch VIN into an aluminum VIN plate and attach that to the trailer with rivets.

I don't recall that there was a value placed on the relative grit level. You could use any level you wanted. The material that comes with the wheel puts a very high polish on hardened steel. You might post a question on the company's website if you really want a number.

Possibly. Used mine to pull off a rusted on sleeve on rear axle bolt. It did get it off without tool snapping or bending. Tough set of pullers. Nice to have a set of different size pullers to meet needs of job.

Not so far. Only disappointment is that the steak knives were stamped steel unlike the rest of the set that was forged. Kind of misleading when the set is advertised as forged.

I don't know that brand of trailer but as long as the connecting arm for the trailer is a round hollow tube of about 1/2" -5/8 diameter it should. It comes with the necessary hardware but you may have to drill a hole to accept the attaching bolt.

They can be used on any hasp that has room for the lock body. They lock opening is wide enough to accept most hasp hardware. I use three keyed alike on my work trailer and love them. Once you've had a thief cut your lock off and steel your belongings you can truly appreciate this lock. Good Luck and enjoy your new locks. Chris

I don't have them anymore so not exactly sure but that sounds about right. My big concern was that they are not rated to 5k like the said. It is stamped on each one at 1.8k each or something like that. Not strong enough for my trailer.

Yes!I used this set in my boat and made a big difference. I also bought the same set for my camper trailer and works great!

I use it with a dual axel trailer! It works fine, hard if you make a sharp turn!

No idea what type of steel. Worked just fine for replacement springs on utility trailer. Fulfilled my needs perfectly.

I am not sure as I am not a gunsmith. However, they work very well on my polished Henry rifle. A very good variety of tips assure a good fit that won't slip and scratch the finish. I am very satisfied with the set. Danny V

Unknown. The metal is chrome plated (no rust) and I'd have to take a file to it to test if it's hardened. That would ruin the plating. Considering that it's job is just to point-shattter tempered glass, I think hardened steel would be overkill. We have tested it on thick glass to get my family used to it. Worked fine. Seat belt cuttter too.

It should work. I use mine on vinyl and it works perfect holding an outdoor clock. The vinyl does not bend so I am sure it should work on steel as well. Good luck.

I used this product on new bare steel, (1911 slide), it appears to have functioned properly. I do not believe the product will work with "stainless steel". For the investment, it may not hurt to try; if in fact that is your intent. Good luck with tour project.

I used it on bunch of alum 1/4 rivets with steel shank and it worked well as far as 1/4 steel have not tried it .

Yes. Unfortunately it is only a very thin galvanized coating over steel on most of the parts. I dip mine in peanut oil to keep the rust under control. They work fine even when rusted if kept oiled.

yes , i use them on tool steels up to 65rockw. stainless is much softer but tough.
