Automatic Center Punch Hand Tool

The Automatic Center Punch Hand Tool is a must-have for many different kinds of works! It’s great for woodworking and construction! A center punch is a popular tool and there are two main types of it: manual and automatic. Although the manual center punch works okay, you would need extra tools to use it. You’d have to hit it with a hammer in order for it to work. With an automatic one, you won’t need anything else but itself. You can use this tool for different materials such as wood, stainless steel, and plastic.

What Is It For?

If you’re not so familiar with a centerpunch, it’s for making tiny dents on the surface before drilling. The purpose of it is so that the drill bit won’t slip once you turn it on. This is also to make sure that you position the drill where you want it to. Without a dent, there’s a good chance that the drill will slide off and you might end up making wrong marks. The tool has springs inside and it works by storing the energy inside once you press it to the workpiece. It will then release this impulse and create a dent on the material. Note that this tool is not for creating holes but for making dimple-like marks.

Handy and Convenient

The good thing about it is that it is a handy tool. This makes it portable and will fit right in your toolbox. You can also keep it in your pocket or tool belt for easy access. The automatic center punch has a knurled handle which makes it easy to grip, prevents slipping and provides you with better control. You can adjust the spring pressure by twisting the top part. Finally, it has a hardness level of HRC 58°up to 65°.
