Accurate, Easy to Use, and Much Better Than Traditional Center Punches
Style: Auto Center Punch Size: 5" Length
I picked this up for a project where I needed to drill very precise holes in 16-gauge steel, and it worked much better than the spring-loaded punch I had been using previously. With my old style, you had to pull back and release the mechanism, which often caused the tip to shift slightly before striking. This automatic center punch lets you position the tip exactly where you want it and simply press down until it fires, making it much easier to create an accurate starting point for the drill bit. The punch itself feels solid and comfortable in the hand. It has enough weight to inspire confidence, and the build quality seems like it should hold up well for years with normal use. I also appreciate that there aren't many moving parts exposed, so it seems like a straightforward, durable tool. My only real criticism is the adjustable striking force. The instructions indicate that you can increase or decrease the impact strength, but I honestly couldn't notice much of a difference regardless of the setting. It still worked perfectly for my application, so this wasn't a dealbreaker. Overall, if you're looking for a reliable automatic center punch that makes accurate drilling easier, l'd definitely recommend this one. It did exactly what I needed and is a noticeable improvement over the pull-and-release style punches l've used in the past. ... show more

Great tool that I should have purchased years ago
Style: Auto Center Punch Size: 5" Length
This is a great center punch. Ever try to drill a hole (even in a drill press) and watch your bit walk to the side a bit? Well this is your solution. Actually, I'll admit that I've never used a center punch before purchasing this one, but I wish I had bought one years ago. I bought this for creating divots to drill accurate holes in rectangular aluminum tubing. I also used it on mild steel and tried it on wood. It works great all around! To use this thing, you just put the point where you want the divot and push hard on the orange top. The internal spring compresses, and then it snaps driving the point into whatever you are trying to mark. You can screw/unscrew the end of it to increase/decrease spring tension. For metal, just leave it on the max setting. Dial it down for wood. ... show more

Default pressure too strong.
Style: Auto Center Punch Size: 5" Length
Punch is ok, just have tu push way too hard to activate it. Even if the pressure setting is set to low.

Essential tool

Love this tool, wish I bought it sooner. It makes drilling each hole in the perfect spot so much faster and easier.

Works well, sturdy build
Style: Auto Center Punch Size: 5" Length
The device seems to be made of quality material and is pretty well designed and constructed. The 5-inch size is just right for general shop work. Would buy again.

Highly recommended
Style: Auto Center Punch Size: 6" Length
This tool was recommended by a friend. Used it the first week I bought it, and it has come in handy. If you're trying to drill a hole in a specific spot, its useful to use the punch to create a dimple in the wood in that exact spot. Then your drill bit is far less likely to wander around and damage the surface. Extremely useful. More powerful spring than expected. ... show more
