[ARC5] Bearings for DM-28 dynamotors

[john rose]

My father, a tool and die man, pointed out that a drift (he called it a drift pin, that’s Canadian for ya’) has a flat face, a punch has a point.

No, It is also in common use in the US, "use a drift to remove that roll
pin", sometimes referred to as a drift punch.

Good advice.
In my earlier days when I overhauled car engines and gearboxes, the "hitter"
was referred to as a drift. I see on Wikipedia that that's the name for a
hole alignment tool, and no mention is made of an impulse inflicting tool.

Perhaps "drift" was a term unique to the UK/British Commonwealth when used
in that sense?
