Starrett 816 A Prick Punch, 10,2 cm lengte, 5/162,6 cm conisch punt diameter

I know its advertised as 4", so the ad is honest, but a 4" punch is (frustratingly) a little less than pocket size. I use it at work on unhardened steel plate with an 18oz ball peen hammer and it works fine, excellent quality, well made, holding its point fine, just small if you need to wear gloves while using it. I would definitely buy more starrett products based on the quality of the item i received, the quick delivery, and the overall hassle free purchase experience.

Extremely good quality tool Sharp and stay Sharp you get what you pay for

100% recommended, top notch quality item.

I need to drill out some nailheads but I could not locate my center or prick punches. So, I went to Home Depot but could not locate anything that I could use. In fact, I went to 2 Home Depot and still came home empty handed. They have nail sets which have flat points which I have. Using that on a nail head would just drive the nail deeper into the wood, not what I want at all. The website of Home Depot has limited selection. So, I search Amazon instead. I am glad that I did that. I was able to find this punch. I also got this punch delivered on the next day. Save yourself a trip if you need a prick punch, just order it here.The knurling seems to be cut instead of rolled which is understandable as the steel is rather hard. The whole punch looks made from a round steel rod. Very simple to made but appears to be well made. Just be careful as this punch could roll off the table or workbench. Other than that, this is exactly what I needed. I was able to mark drill starts on nailheads with ease. Always use the correct tools for the jobs and this would make life so much easier.BTW. I like that this punch came without any plastic retail package. It was just placed in a small envelope. Perfect.
