Small but powerful
Small auto punch which bugger hands may find a bit fiddly.Good strong spring means punch marks are easy to find and accurate.

Probably the best punch money can buy
Probably the best punch money can buy, usual Starrett quality. Can`t go wrong, totally worth the cost.

It is nicely made and a conveniently small size
I've struggled with cheaper centre punches and their hit and miss action, even when they were brand new. This centre punch was certainly not cheap but it does work perfectly and I've yet to experience it misfire. It is nicely made and a conveniently small size. There is sometimes a good reason why some things are more expensive...

What happened here Starret ????
Starret have always been associated in the engineering world as manufacturing great quality tools and equipment................... BUT WHAT WENT WRONG HERE......... ??The punch is made really well, really nice quality as expected BUT the actual task of performing what its designed for is a joke............. I used it on a piece of timber and it hardly marked it ? it would definately not even scratch metal......... oh dear Starret, you let me down...I have 3 other auto punches all set to use for different tasks and they all function as intended. This is like a wet blanket when it comes to performance...
