A Drift Pin is a tool used in structural steel and metal construction that enlarges, shapes or aligns the hole.
What Is Drift Pin?
Drift Pins are tapered and can be constructed from wood, light alloys, copper, or steel. The most common use for a drift pin on construction projects is to localize a hammer blow in order to align two bolt holes in separate structural steel components that are designed to be aligned.
