Accurate marking for cleaner, safer drilling.
This adjustable automatic centre punch delivers consistent, precise marking on metal, wood, plastic and glass. Constructed from durable high-carbon steel, it features a hardened conical tip for clean indentations and a robust spring-loaded mechanism that delivers a controlled impact without the need for a hammer. The textured, ergonomic handle provides a secure, non-slip grip for confident use in the workshop, on-site, or in the home.
The adjustable tension allows you to set the striking force to suit different materials: lighter settings for delicate work such as thin sheet metal or glass (with care), and higher settings for harder steels, hardwoods or structural work. Simply position the tip, press down until the mechanism releases, and you have a clear starting point that helps prevent drill bits from wandering or slipping. Ideal for layout work, pilot holes, hardware installation, and general marking tasks.
