Do you guys have any suggestions on who makes really good quality roll pin punches? And where to get them?

Brownell's have a good set for gun stuff...

The starter pin punches are worthwhile as well.

Aren’t those drive pin punches? Do you know if they make roll pin ones?

Those are nice. Do you own a set? Are they the same good quality as other snap on products?

Drive pin, yes. Don't think they make a roll pin set.... I use drive pin punches (carefully) for everything.

Picked up a set of roll pin punches from P/A.
While not SnapOn quality, serve the purpose intended for why I purchased them.

The balled ends fit the hollow pins nicely.

Brownells makes good roll pin holders, Proto and Starrett are good punches.

Yes I have a set, its good. I don’t buy snapon very often but some of there tools are worth every penny.

Laugh all you want; when I started my AR build I found the roll pin punches I needed at... wait for it... Canadian Tire.

I have and use snap on roll pin punchs worth every penny if you are going to use them more than once. another awesome tool for pushing in roll pins once they are started is knipex plier wrenchs. If you have access to the to the back.. like AR bolt catches.

I have about 5 broken Mac punches in my box with no dealer anymore to warranty them. When there was one he replaced several for me because they were crazy brittle and fractured as soon as you hit them. Worst punches I ever owned. Gray Foot Print and Snapon are my goto now.
