I was tired of using cheap crap so what I ended up doing was buying individual roll pin punches in the appropriate sizes from a Snap-On -truck guy I know. Along with a center punch for quality staking jobs. It was expensive like around $78 IIRC, but worth it in my opinion. If they bend or break I just return them the next week I see him no questions asked. Never had to get because they work so well though.
I also have a are of Squirrel Daddy 4" hollow end starter punches that really come in handy. I wish I would have known about them sooner.

No, if I was to drop the coin for those, they'd need to be proper size, not 'close.'
ETA: I went to the US Peacekeeper site: https://www.uspeacekeeper.com/collec...armorers-case#
They are having a 25% off free shipping sale for the next ten hours (as of 3:30PM CDT)
EDC backpack looks good, has the hidden CCW pocket I've been locking for: https://www.uspeacekeeper.com/collec.../edc-backpack#
Small Punch Roll: https://www.uspeacekeeper.com/collec...ll-punch-roll# (some on Amazon complained too short for long punches - 15.5"l x 5.75"h (open) - also it's $5.99 here compared to 10.00 Amazon Prime)
Large Armorer Roll: https://www.uspeacekeeper.com/collec...armorers-roll#
Armorers Briefcase: https://www.uspeacekeeper.com/collec...armorers-case#
If I was in the market to get a rig to take enough tools to the range to rebuild/repair rifles (I'm not - I go to the range to shoot) I'd probably give the Punch roll and the large armorer roll a shot.

No, I use their metric punches. Although most of my firearms are/have been European, I've had no issues smacking imperial pins. As you know, punch work is delicate but not precise.
Additionally, it's usually substantially cheaper to buy high-end tools from abroad. Maurice at Prof-Tools (prof-tools.nl) will take care of you. Don't forget to binge on Gedore 1B wrenches while you're at it.

The small one houses the Bolt Catch Punch with ease and a small file to dress files if need be.
