With a 1/2” square punch face, the Tie Plug Punch is designed specifically to work with tie plugs, the square, treated wood pegs used to fill the holes left in railroad ties when old spikes are pulled. Frequently, these plugs are set in old holes so that when a new spike is driven it will fit tightly.
The Tie Plug Punch is precision forged from AREMA-compliant Grade B alloy steel for exceptional tensile, shear and fatigue strength.
