General Tools 79 Automatic Steel Center Punch is a steel hand tool for dimpling metal or wood before you start a drill bit. The heavy frame is built for years of work, and the replaceable hardened steel point can be unscrewed and swapped out if it ever gets dull. This punch uses an internal spring so you can mark your spot with one hand, leaving your other hand free to steady a square or a ruler. You can twist the cap to adjust how hard the tip strikes, so it works on thin aluminum or thick plate steel. The dark finish keeps the tool rust resistant even in a humid workshop. It is a shop staple for keeping your drill bits from walking across the workpiece.
