Fowler 52-500-015-0, Center Punch 5 Piece Set

Ok set of punches for the price, but on mild steel, they dull very easily. Probably best used for aluminum work, or if you plan to replace often.

These must be made from a fairly brittle metal. The smallest one broke on my very first use, tapping directly vertical on punch with no torsional strains/loads. I still got the job done, but wasnt happy that it broke obviously. Probably would not buy again.

Just what is needed, thanks! More precise when carefully and slowly punching by hand than an a hammerless punch.

Good

Product dulls quickly. I use them almost daily for work, and must re-grind them on a post grinder before each use.

LArgest one went dull on first use on a head bolt. I expected better quality.

Seem to be made of good quality materials but came covered in some kind of grease. The plastic storage pouch is unusable because it is full of this grease.

Good thing multiple punches were shipped because one of them broke after the first hit. You get what you pay for.

I bought this set to stake castle nuts for AR-15 buffer tubes and they are great. Have a great point on them that catches the aluminum from the buffer tube end plate on the AR-15. They come in a little sleeve with a lot of grease from the factory. Clearly made in China but they hold up.

These are great. There are all the different sizes needed to do the job.
