• Heavy Duty - The Automatic Center Punch is made from steel that resists corrosion, wear and tear. It is durable and can provide users with satisfying results.
• Automatic Mechanism - The Starrett Center Punch has an internal mechanism that automatically strikes a blow when downward pressure is applied, making it easy to use in any workshop application.
• Adjustable Force - The force of the blow can be adjusted when used for different materials by turning the knurled cap. With this setting, it can create a perfect mark on any surface.
• Precision Marking - The spring tension which regulates the blow provides a constant point with each strike, ensuring uniformity in depth and size for each setting. This makes it the perfect tool for precision marking.
• Wide Range of Application - This tool can help you make a small indentation to accurately spot the location of a hole in metals, plastics, wood, and other machinable materials.

These punches and nail sets are universally used, but most often by machinists and carpenters. They are well-proportioned for ease of use. The specially selected tool steel is hardened and tempered to the proper hardness. All of them feature nicely knurled finger grips for ease of handling. A special tempering process makes the head less likely to fracture from a hard, off-center blow. ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GLASSES WHEN USING STRIKING AND STRUCK TOOLS. Rugged automatic punches have all-steel handles and parts. These punches have a mechanism that automatically strikes a blow when downward pressure is applied. No hammer is required, making one hand always free to steady the work. The adjustable knurled cap regulates the force of the blow. Should a heavy mark be required, the cap is screwed down. Progressively lighter marks are obtained by turning the cap upward. The tension of the spring, which regulates the blow is constant, so marks made by the point are uniform in depth and size for each setting. The point can be easily removed for regrinding and/or replacement. All sizes are identical in style, differing only in the striking power.
