This punch is exactly what I wanted. The fit and finish are outstanding and what you would expect from Starrett. A word of caution, this center punch requires a bit of grunt to get it to fire. If you're not directly over it and have a good hand on it, it won't fire and will definitely wear you out. I'm sure it can be turned down but mine did not come with any instructions. I'm sure I can find them online. I would not take away points for it being too strong.

This punch packs a wallop. I have a General punch I been using since the seventies but when using it on metal it didn’t leave a good deep dimple. The STARRETT punch leaves a nice deep dimple so when drilling the bit doesn’t wander. Looking at this punch one can see the excellent build quality. It’s a beaut.

Used this automatic punch already to help drill holes in 3/16 inch steel to mount 50' air hose reel. Perfect, deep, centering dimple, first try. I should have had one of these a long time ago. I could have saved a lot of aggravation and money on bits. Rigid, centered, hard, precision tool with no gaps or looseness, at all. Outside diameter knurl allows tight grip, and it's adjustable to punch a deep, accurate, centering divet very loudly and forcefully in steel.

This can be a bit pricey for a center punch. But like anything from Starrett, it's top-quality. It does pack quite a bit of energy, easily leaving a nice dimple even in stainless steel. It's adjustable so it will also work with softer metals. Just be aware that the adjustment is at the back of the tool, and not the front. Would be nice if there were simple instructions in the box.

Excellent made in USA quality !!!!!! Products like this should remind us that the latest and greatest is not always the best!!!! This will out last me. To bad we are losing this quality with each passing generation. Hold this in your hand, you can feel the workmanship!! And of course, works just like it should!!!
