SuooTci Automatic Center Punch 5 Inch Spring Loaded 2 Pack Center Punch For Metal with Adjustable Tension Punch Tool for Metal(Two Replacement Tips Included)

These have so far worked really well for marking screw holes in wood and drywall. I tested its claims for metal on a piece of aluminum, and they both left a good, clear punch hole. These are made of nice stainless steel, which should give me a lot of use out of them. They are a great product, and priced really well, too.

Heavier than I thought they would be which is a good thing. Spring works well and left a decent center score on aluminum. A dozen scores and the tip shows no sign of wear or bending. The extra tips an extra if I do not lose them in the tool box. As a side note these will also work well as an emergency side glass widow breaker in your car ( old fire rescue tip).

If you like to hang items on your wall then this is a good tool to have. Just decide where you want the item and this will mark the nail or screw holes for you. Using a level and straight edge if you need two or more is great for getting a perfect level hang each and every time. This punch will easily leave you a mark on wood or sheet rock without pushing it until it pops because of the sharp point, but for a larger mark push till it pops. The pressure for the spring loaded tip is adjustable, just loosen the cap for less pressure. These punches also come with two extra tips. You may want to keep one in the glove box for a possible aid in breaking a window if ever needed, because they work off the same principle as the glass breakers you see advertised. My picture shows me trying one on my old teak cutting board, the really small is just the pressure of the point and the slightly larger are pushing with enough pressure until it pops.

I was impressed when I opened the package of the SuooTci Automatic Center Punch. The punches are all metal and have a good feel t them. They are easy to operate and the knurled barrel makes it easy to use with one hand. I made some test marks on wood and they handled that with no issue. The marks are clean and accurate. I also tried making some marks on ceramic and porcelain tile. While the marks were not as pronounced as on the wood (I wouldnt expect them to be), they were clearly visible and made a good spot for a drill bit to start. I have used the spring style center punches in the past. They worked well but cannot compare to the quality and performance of these punches. I appreciate that this was a pack of two punches and the two extra tips will ensure these will last for awhile. This punch set is very reasonably priced and the quality makes this well worth it.

This is one of those tools you wont use often, but when you have a need for a center punch, its just the thing. The tools are well made, and two spare tips are included. There are no instructions, but its easy to figure out. Just line up the punch where you want it to penetrate, and then push down. The spring action cocks and then plunges the point down. The effects are subtle. In other words, dont expect to punch through without multiple tries. This tool is more for marking rather than punching through. The photo shows three holes punched in drywall and plywood. The middle hole shows where I punched the tool 12 times, and it still didnt penetrate the drywall. On the plywood, the middle shows shows 6 times, and it doesnt look a whole lot different from the other two holes. This tool definitely beats using a traditional nail setter or center punch and hammer, but dont expect it to penetrate without a lot of attempts.

Product is made of great material. Product works great!!

Nicely made and it punches well. Comes with 2 extra punch replacements. Me Gusta.

Both of the units that I got had a good action and a crisp snap when used. The points are sharp, and while not the best finish overall, they are sharp, concentric and smooth where it matters. I used them on mild steel and alumimum and they created nice center punches with a clean center and no visible wear on the point. They also supplied a pair of extra points.

Well made and makes a good impression on the metal to grab a drill bit. Works well.

Im very happy with these center punches. The adjustable springs make them easy to indent metal or wood. My old punch was really dull so these really make a difference. They come two to a set and there are also 2 extra needles. A real good value.
