I use my K&D set to knock out small pins. I use the #50 with the holes in them...fit a piece of round music wire to the size I need..lay the part on the anvil...and drive the pin out. One hand holds the part..the stake is held in the anvil...and the other hands using a brass hammer drives out the pin. I’m a gunsmith. I use my K&D set to knock out small pins.

Perhaps you could rivet some sterling together and make some articulate jewelry. Apart from that, I'm not sure how you could use it. figitdigit, What this set is really good for is forming rivets.

The fun part is when you had to get someone else to hammer on the punch for you while you held the piece with both hands. Hopefully you got someone with a light touch....luckily I worked with another watchmaker and a couple jewelers so they took directions well.
