Super Strong Automatic Center Punch - 6 inch Black Steel Spring Loaded Center Hole Punch with Adjustable Tension, Hand Tool for Metal or Wood with Zippered Hard Shell Carry Case - Pack of 2

25 yrs finish carpenter

We’ll made. Actually more industrial strength. Really have to push hard to get it to snap.

My friend was skeptical, but it worked for what I needed it for. Worked on a screw that need to be extracted in a engine block!

Very well made

Compared to my previous spring loaded center punches, this one is slightly inferior while still being adequate for occasional use. It is considerably longer than my other ones, making it more difficult to fit into confined areas. It also doesnt have a particularly strong action, and it only punches toward the very end of a relatively stiff travel. So its kind of big, weak, and heavy. But it does generally work. Im using them to lay out railroad signal control terminal boards which are plastic/fiber coated plywood, and you really have to punch 2 or 3 times to make an impression. Which doesnt sound bad until you realize Im punching to drill dozens, sometimes hundreds of holes and a more effective tool would be far less taxing. The one upside of the large size is that its easier to grip. The fact that you get two is a bonus and they are inexpensive which must be considered for a tool that will be eventually lost. The little case is nice but not very useful unless I can repurpose it. Id rather have a harder/sharper tip with a stronger action than the case.

Bought 2, one worked, one did not.

Work well, but it would be nice if they charged less for just a single punch instead of making you buy two of them.

Come in a nice case too

Perfect

One of the 2 punches has stopped working, was not used much. They dont punch the hardest but a couple punches on the same spot and it is perfect
