The punches are made of steel and do an excellent job driving solid pins. I prefer Grace USA for the rest of my punches. These include roll pin punches, roll pin holders, and brass punches. I have included a picture of their roll pin punches below.

They are also a little easier to find locally than other brands. My local Tractor Supply sells them. Another product that Grace USA does a very good job with is their hammers. I have one of their brass hammers and love it. The head is nicely machined and fits snug on the handle.
The handle itself is sturdy and comfortable in the hand. You can find it by clicking here. Each variety is available in multiple sizes and weights. This will help you make sure that you have the right hammer for the job at hand. Bench blocks are important to have when driving pins out of a firearm.
They are usually made of plastic or metal and give you a solid surface to rest the gun on while tapping out pins.
They have holes in them that allow the pins to protrude from the firearm as they are being driven out and capture the pins when they fall out. The best gunsmithing bench blocks are produced by Brownells and Wheeler Engineering. Both companies produce blocks that are suitable for general use with shotguns, rifles, and handguns. Brownells and Wheeler Engineering also produce specialty bench blocks designed for use with specific types of firearms, particularly for AR style rifles.
They make performing certain functions, like driving out front sight base pins, much easier. You can find a wide selection of gunsmithing tools from Brownells. In addition to the bench blocks that I mentioned above, they also produce other products for working on AR-style rifles.
Certain steps of assembling an AR, such as installing the front pivot pin can be a challenge. Wheeler has tools specifically for this and other things that could present a challenge. When it comes to buying their AR tools, you can buy them separately or as a set. You can find other Wheeler Engineering gunsmithing tools by clicking here. Allen and Torx head screws are becoming more and more common in the gun world. They are commonly used to mount optics and are even used in some types of reloading equipment.
