> 3 dayI really like these centering punches. Ive been working on a project that involves drilling dozens of holes in mild steel. My old punch (another automatic) never left a satisfying dimple to start a drill bit. It would leave a mark to line things us, but it wasnt deep enough to ensure that the bit wouldnt wonder. Well not these punches! The point on these punches is sharp and suepr hard. The spring has a terrific punch to it and is strong enough to get a good start in any metal or wood surface. My drill bits of various sizes were always right on center following the dimple from these punches. Highly recommended.

> 3 daykarmiero 2 Pc Automatic Center Punch Remarkably, both of the spring-loaded automatic punches worked the first time. The grip is easy to maintain. First, I tried various types of wood. The pressure to activate the punch is minimal. Each time it scribed a hole mark. I then went to metals such as aluminum and steel. The steel required spring adjustment to get a good visible hole. The punch never slipped and was accurate. The tools are easy to assemble and disassemble. Well manufactured, and no detectable flaws. Excellent value.

> 3 dayThis offer was for 2 identical punches at a low price. Very handy to have in 2 different locations. I dont know how long they will last, time and use will tell.

> 3 dayThe karmiero is decent and definitely more than expected for the price of $4.99 especially since it comes with two. It has worked well for my use so far but probably not made for daily shop use. This spring loaded center hole punch design uses adjustable Spring Tension screw, you only need to rotate the cover to get the suitable impact strength to leave an indentation on your surface. So far Ive used on wood and metal with. no problem.

> 3 dayCant say enough good things about this set of spring loaded punches. They work perfectly and like they are supposed to. The knurling provides a nice grip. Both sides can be unscrewed for cleaning and lubrication. You really cannot go wrong with this set. They are an excellent value. I have a Starrett at work that cost ten times as much as these two. They make the same indent on steel as the Starrett does. They even feel the same when used. I would highly recommend these center punches. Extremely useful tool to have on hand.

> 3 dayGiven the cost I didnt expect a high caliber tool, but I figured since there would be *two* of them I would at least wind up with 1 usable tool. I was wrong. The first punch never fires and is functionally just an awl. The second punch fired *1* time and immediately became stuck so now its functionally a paper weight. I could likely find a way to fix it but Id rather not spend time fixing a tool before its first real use. Will return and purchase something else.

> 3 dayGiven the low pricing of these punches, I didnt know what to expect. I was very pleasantly surprised when I opened the package. The finish appears to be top-notch and the punch performed nicely on some mild steel I had laying around. I dont expect these punches to last a lifetime but it wouldnt surprise me if they did.
