    • Perfect
Style: Utility
I used to use these for working on lock cylinders at the car dealership back in olden days and they never worked half the time. I bought this one for something unrelated and it works flawlessly.

    • Every drill owner should have one
Style: Utility
A spring-loaded punch is essential. For wood, pressing until it clicks in not always necessary. On metal, it reduces bit wandering and off-center holes. It also makes a great emergency glass breaker to carry in the car. This will shatter side windows and speed a rescue.

Style: Utility
Worked like a charm for staking castle nut on AR-15. 5 punches or so and it was good to go. Surprised it was able to impact the metal so effectively, but I had never used this device before. Got the job done. Very pleased.

    • 2nd responce This is NOT a precision Instrument
Style: Utility
2nd Responce I was pleasantly surprized once I shapened the point up and compared the indent with my UK Eclipse Automatic Center punch from almost 60 Years ago the indents are almost Identical. If the body was of toughened steel I would have given it a 5 star rating. First responce it looked nice but not as heavy as I would have expected, But I think this tool is mainly for DIY and wood work use. So well priced I was also suprised to find the tool was not sharp. I would like to add that I have net tried the tool as yet, But when I do, I will stretch spring to improve its performance on Metal. My Background is a Tool Maker and lost my one several years ago. (Just Found it) So I speak as an experenced user of this type of tool. ... show more
