Spring Tools Professional High Speed Steel Center Punch - Marks Hardened Steel & HARDOX 450 - True Tempered Tip - 3500 LBS Impact Force - Made in USA

Top quality original tool from Spring Tools USA. Highly recommend spending the money...they are worth every penny

Solid, sturdy and dependable, will probably last a lifetime so is fantastic value for money

I needed a tool to help me dislodge a large number of threaded screws. The day I recieved this fantastic tool the screws were removed within 5 minutes. It has quickly become a tool that I realise has more uses than i initially imagined. I am oddly excited. Great quality. The price is reflective of good high quality american manufacturing. Very pleased with the result. I am secretly excited to find out what the next few jobs this wonderful compact tool can elegantly solve. Many thanks.

Brilliant little tool. Sharp point that stays that way. Great for getting into those awkward spaces too.

very useful for hard to do things , quality tool indeed

Works well. Simple mechanism with less scope for failure than my previous automatic centre punch.

very high quality tool easy to use recommended.

Great tool. Well made USA i think. I've gone through 3 spring loaded dot punches, the ones that you push down on and they all have failed. I like this one because it is simple and no moving parts.

Work as expected

Transitioning from traditional methods involving a hammer and a conventional steel punch, I've experienced a mix of outcomes, often marred by sliding punches that scratch surfaces or fail to make a significant indent. The Spring Tools 28R45-1 Hammerless Single Ended High-Speed Steel Center Punch marks a notable improvement in both design and functionality. Its hammerless operation not only streamlines the process but also significantly reduces the margin for error, providing a safer and more reliable method for marking metal surfaces. I've put this punch to the test on 10 gauge steel and can attest to its power and effectiveness, achieving clean, deep indents with minimal effort. Despite its strengths, there's a lingering concern about the potential for pinching my finger in the steel coil mechanism during use. While this hasn't occurred, the possibility remains a slight drawback in an otherwise excellent tool. This punch has proven to be a valuable addition to my toolkit, offering a blend of precision, power, and ease of use that traditional methods simply can't match.

Does not work as it should for regular door hinges. would have to be shorter ones as it doesn’t reach where it’s supposed to to be able to push out the hinge pin properly. Still good quality and would be great if it was longer to fit

I have wanted to try one of these since I saw one online and was not disappointed, it works well, as advertised
