A little unsure. With a pin pusher, do the pins only go in as far as you push them or do you need a depth stop if you want to do that?

I'm trying to choose between the Amati and Mantua pin pushers, but don't know if either have a depth stop or of I need one.

I use this one which has a depth stop and is there if you wish to use it and is also a robust item..

Tomick

Many thanks for the advice. Have just ordered one from cmb.

My existing Amati one has a very weak aluminium tube and is forever getting bent.

The one you use looks a lot stronger.

Kind regards

Tony
