> 3 dayI keep a few of these auto punches around the shop in different tool bags and boxes so I always have one handy. But this is the first time I have gotten any with extra punch points. Honestly, I tend to lose a punch before I ever wear out the point, but I like that the vendor is thinking ahead.

19-11-2024These were a lot heavier than I expected. It’s well built and works great! Using light pressure you line up where you want and push. If you need to really indent use a hammer. The inner workings are sturdy and take whacks with out issue. Makes punch marks on anything with little effort.

> 3 dayI keep one of these on my workbench and one in my tool belt. I use it many for wood not metal but I can certainly see how helpful it would be for metal. Nothing like starting a hole with a bit on metal and seeing the bit scoot all over your work piece. With wood it makes a nice little divot to start a screw in or drill a hole.

> 3 dayThis 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.

> 3 dayThese 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.

> 3 dayIve been in the market for a punch like this for a while. This is a nice set with spare points for replacement after they get dull and are easy to replace. It takes a few strokes to make a decent dimple in steel, but makes a nice dimple in wood.

> 3 dayHeavier 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).

> 3 dayI 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.
