MulWark 5" Spring-Loaded Automatic Steel Center Hole Punch Marker Scriber for Wood, Metal, Plastic, Car Window Puncher Breaker Tool-with Palm Cushion Cap, Adjustable Impact-A Replacement Tip Included

I already had the more traditional automatic center punch with an all metal handle but the force required to actuate the hammer was uncomfortable. The large plastic knob on the end of this punch works great and put an end to that discomfort. Overall quality is good and I have had no issues with its function after using it for a while on plastic, wood and aluminum.

Great. Ive used it on drywall and wood, works great. I just keep it in my drill case. Sometimes the spring doesnt work, but just requires retightening. Good quality for price

After a few weeks of light use, this punch failed to trigger more than 50% of the time. However, after I disassembled it and lubricated the internal parts, the punch triggered consistently. I deducted one star because it could have been lubricated at the factory.

Great deal for a multi-tip punch for most surfaces. Needed to drill gate posts for latches and this punch (used properly) gets your drill bit centered on each hole, without it your latches are cricked and don't line up. Not as big a problem for wood, but still helpful there as well. Also needed to drill my transmission fluid pan to add a drain plug - this punch was key for that project as well. Highly recommended.

Upon receiving the spring-loaded punch, I immediately put it to the test by marking 36 holes. Initially, the punch performed well for the first 15. While I was able to mark all the holes eventually it did take sone extra time due to the jamming.

Love it, should have gotten one a long time ago.

Awesome i recommend it to be bought

This is a really good value, quality made, automatic center punch. I've used it for steel, aluminum, and plastic and it precisely punches a decent sized dimple without very much effort. A nicely knurled body to help aim the punch and a rounded ball is pressed to 'fire' it. I have come to like the ball handle as it lets you angle the punch slightly and still maintain a comfortable grip. I prefer this punch over some of the way more expensive precision punches since it puts out a little more wallop and does everything else that's expected of it just fine. Comes with a spare punch tip too. They all wear out after a good while so that was a nice touch. A+

Indispensable to marking holes and centering bits when drilling (especially in metal) to prevent wandering. It's got a nice shape and the plastic bulb helps when punching. The body is knurled for grip. The punch mechanism itself is adjustable but TBH it all felt about the same. I wish the punch enagaged a bit faster - seems like there's a fair bit of spring travel before the mechanism 'fires'. It leaves a clear mark but a little bit wider in diameter than I was expecting. Not massive, but more than a pinhead. The tip itself I have some doubts about in terms of its hardness and durability. So far it's been fine on wood, plastics, and aluminum, but I don't know about harder metals. There is a spare tip included. For the price, I can't really complain though, and it's gotten a fair bit of use since I purchased it.

My neighbor has one and we always use it and I always thought why does he have that I've got a little punch and a little hammer yeah okay so you get rid of carrying around two items for one small one and I thought I'm just going to order it cuz I got it on sale no lies this thing is the bomb it's so easy to use just pushing it clicks and here's your bit starter right there apparently if you need to break glass I don't know why unless you're an emergency services person or you come across an accident but it's unlikely you'll be carrying this unless you're weird like me. But it's kind of satisfying you just push it up against an object and you hear this click and next thing you know you look at the object and there is your start point for your drill. I know this thing will last me a lifetime that is for absolute sure comes with an extra tip that I was kind of cool.

Gave this 4 stars because ,4 out of 5 times i go to punch a drill point it dosent fire? Gets stuck, not a big deal , just irritating.... good quality metal, hardened well , punched maybe 70 pieces of metal so far , point is still sharp , for that 5star, maybe i need to read the operating manual again ? Might have missed a page on the proper steps to use such an advanced metal denting ...denting tool! Lol , good product. Works

Looks like good quality (except for the cheap plastic knob on the end), but when I tightened it up (it arrived quite loose in the packaging) it wouldn't spring-punch (its only purpose). After taking it apart (the punch end is replaceable - a spare come with it) and putting it back together again a few times I did get it to work some of the time (not sure why actually) so kept it, but I don't have a lot of faith that it will work on my next project and cannot recommend it. UPDATE: I tried to use it on a project; I could only get it to spring punch less than 10% of the time. FYI - I have used these items many times before without problem (they are VERY simple), but this one doesn't work reliably.

This center punch is easy to use and the motion is smooth. The pressure is adjustable by turning the handle. It comes with an extra point but since there is no room to store it in the handle, you could lose it before you need it. Very good product. I used it only once to remove a gear from a shaft. The hammer action did it for me.
