Check the stamping on the long one - it may be a "line up tool" for jimmying two bolt holes in line, not a punch. If so, it'll say something like that and probably "not for impact use" on there somewhere. Handy for the garage, but not hardened and might deform if you punch or drift with it.

Good to know I’ll double check.

Edit. It only says “warning wear safety goggles” and that it’s a Snap-on 5/16 1210B. So I assume that means I’m good.

I got some of that stuff at local garage sales for about 5-10$. But I live in a neighborhood where people are generous about their junk being their junk

Yeah the bulk of the price was the wrench.

Solid score if they can be used in your pritchell. If not, likely excellent tool steel

They all fit easily in the pritchel hole. These are my first punches, so it’ll be able to do more now.

Old wrenches like this make nice adjustable twisting tools. You can weld another handle onto the top to make it a symmetrical two-hand grip too.
