New lot 20 pull dowel pins, drift pins, ¼" x 1" - #8-32
These were purchased at an industrial liquidation earlier this year, and they are brand new in the original factory boxes. Dowel pins are usually just installed from one side with a hammer, and removed by driving them out with a punch from the opposite side. Threaded dowel pins solve the problem arising when there is no "opposite side" from which to drive them. The interior of the pin is threaded, so you can just insert a standard #8-32 machine screw and use it to pull the pin out. They make a special tool for removing them faster and easier, but a good quality machine screw works fine if you're not removing them frequently.
