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

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.

Great product

Come in a nice case too

Very pleased with this tool set. I am a professional metal worker by vocation, and I use one of these punches where I make my living, the other in my garage. So far they work flawlessly, and hold up to the rigors of real life duty. Came in a very convenient padded case for carry and storage. Also arrived early

Very happy to use this punch set. Pleased that it came with 2, well worth the money. The punch tool is very durable and its adjustability.

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

No

I like it all,used for work.

My husband loved the case but one of them broke within the first day. Too much hassle to return. The other works ok but. Both should be better. Kinda disappointed since I got this as a gift.
