Starrett Co.), is based out of Athol, MA. Looks like it is a fine crafted tool that I will be passing on to my son some day. The tool itself is not stamped "Made in the USA", but is stamped with the company name and the model number. You can see the craftsmanship put into this tool. I think that you will be very happy with it. **Q: If i was only looking to purchase one size center punch wood this be a good size to go with?** A: This is the smallest of the Starrett punches. It works well on soft and thin metals as well as wood. 18c is larger and works better for harder metals and is also easier to hold. **Q: Will this work on tempered auto glass?** A: It will shatter tempered glass. **Q: Which center punch breaks Bullet proof** A: None break bullet proof glass because of how that glass is made and it thick glass hence the name “Bullet Proof”. ## Frequently Bought Together - Starrett Steel Automatic Center Punch with Adjustable Stroke - 5" (125mm) Length, 9/16" (14mm) Punch Diameter, Lightweight, Knurled Steel Handle - 18A - Starrett Steel Automatic Center Punch with Adjustable Stroke - 5-1/4" (130mm) Length, 11/16" (17mm) Punch Diameter, Lightweight, Knurled Steel Handle - 18C - Starrett Automatic Center Punch with Hardened Steel Metal - 100mm Length, 11mm Punch Diameter Tapered Point - 18AA --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/31118051-steel-automatic-center-punch-5-length-9-16-punch-diameter](https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/31118051-steel-automatic-center-punch-5-length-9-16-punch-diameter) --- *Product available on Desertcart Argentina* *Store origin: AR* *Last updated: 2026-11-06*
