WHLLING 2-Piece Automatic Center Punch, 6 Inch Hardened Steel Spring Loaded Center Hole Punch with Adjustable Knurled Cap for Machinists and Carpenters

These work great if you need an auto punch. I put one in my toolbox at home and the other one in my toolbox at work.

I love these things. I ordered a two pack, one for the bench and one over by the drill press. I'd never had one of the spring loaded ones. Push down and the punch does the punching, without a hammer.

It's a center punch... it does not create mound and mounds if Julianne fries, but it does punch into soft and hard substrates, creating a starting point for drilling. Simple tool for a simple application. 4 star rather than 5 because it does require frequent re-setting when using repeatedly.

The Automatic Center Punch set has been a game-changer in my toolbox. From the moment I started using them, I was impressed by their durability and precision. These center punches are built with high-quality materials, ensuring they can withstand repeated use without losing their effectiveness. The 5-inch size is perfect for a comfortable grip, making it easy to apply the right amount of pressure for an accurate punch every time. One of the standout features of these center punches is the spring-loaded mechanism. This design ensures consistent force with every punch, which is crucial for tasks that require precise marking. Whether I’m working with metal, wood, or plastic, these punches deliver clean and precise marks that make subsequent drilling or cutting much easier. The automatic action means I don’t need a hammer, which saves time and reduces the risk of damaging my workpiece. I also appreciate the ergonomic design. The handle is comfortable to hold, even during extended use, and the knurled texture provides a secure grip, preventing slippage. This is especially important when working with delicate or intricate pieces where accuracy is paramount. The punches are also easy to adjust, allowing me to control the striking force according to the material I’m working with, which adds to their versatility. In my experience, these automatic center punches are not just tools but essential companions for any DIY enthusiast or professional. They have made my work more efficient and have significantly improved the quality of my projects. The sturdy construction and reliable performance ensure that they will remain a staple in my toolkit for years to come.

I purchase several things on Amazon and was giving pretty in-depth reviews. From this point on, here's the new agenda…. if it works as advertised, is well made, meets or exceeds the description, is a value, and arrives in a fair amount of time, it will get a "star rating" equal to what my expectations were/are. If it doesn't meet these criteria, then I will most definitely and descriptively tell the short comings of the products and you as a consumer will not have to go through the trouble of buying the product without some background knowledge. If the sell pulls that item and relists under another description, I will put the exact same review on the seller's feedback page. Sellers have done this a couple of times in the past, and I was true to my word then as well as now. DR

Nice set of center Punch set. Was needing mark some metal to be drilled. Work great to start the drill bit. Heavy power enough to mark the plate metal.

Would give 4 or 5 stars but both of mine stopped working after 8 punches each. One works when it wants to and the other doesn't work at all.

I have to mark injection molds for when the product is produce.
