NEIKO 02638A 5-Inch Automatic Center Punch for Metal, Adjustable Impact Spring Loaded Center Punch Tool, Spring Punch, Center Punch Spring Loaded, Auto Center Punch

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.

This tool works very well and is highly durable. The design of the tool allows for easy punching on metal in most situations. I am a fire alarm technician and this works out well for drilling enclosures, metal pipe, door frames, etc.

Finally found a good center punch. Spring loaded makes it easy to find your spot and then make the punch.

Doing lathe work, finding the center of a piece of wood is easy, using this device, marking the center is a breeze.

I like the punch so much, I've now purchased 2 of them. It makes marking a precise area in order to align and drill a hole easy. It's strong enough that there are times when it will punch through thinner material, but that's not always a bad thing. The design of the tool is good, and it is easy to hold and position as you're making a punch.

Hasn't let me down and makes the job quicker, woodwork or metal. I sometimes punch 2x one after the next on the same point in metal and to this day the piont has stayed true.

Requires a little strength to trip the spring mechanism, but maarks well.

This is something I purchased after seeing it in a woodworking video. I haven't needed it yet, but I've tested it and it puts a nice dent in wood and feels like good quality. It's got a satisfying click to it when you use it.

Zéér fijne en kwalitatief hoogwaardige pons. Zet een goede afdruk in hout en metaal zodat je niet uitschiet als een gaatje gaat boren. Is het geld dubbel en dwars waard.

Good, genuine and works as described.

Utilizei em marcações de madeiras e também em aluminio. Em todas as utilizações a ferramenta efetuou a marca de maneira eficiente. Efetuei diversos disparos e não falhou nem se quer uma vez. Com este marcador é possível efetuar marcações de profundidades variadas, graças a possibilidade de ajustar a força do golpe. Girando a extremidade superior em formato de bola vermelha, que permite até nove voltas completas, no sentido em que as peças se afastam uma da outra, diminui a pressão da mola. Com minima pressão de mola, ele já efetua marcações em todos os tipos de madeira desde a mais dura a mais macia. Por fim, a ferramenta possui um acabamento impecável. Conta com um apoio de mão emborrachado que trás conforto ao manuseio e que aparenta ter grande tempo de durabilidade.
