Overview
The General 806 is a single metal punch weighing about 0.704 ounces, sold as a Pack of 1. General Tools has long made marking and layout tools for hobbyists and tradespeople.
All-metal construction and its light weight point to a hand-struck punch meant for marking or starting a hole before drilling, though the listing does not confirm whether it is a spring-loaded automatic type or one you tap with a hammer.
- All metal construction
- Weighs under an ounce
- Sold as a single Pack of 1

Who it's for
Hobbyists and tradespeople who need a simple punch for metalworking or woodworking layout work. Not for buyers wanting an automatic center punch confirmed by spec.
Pros and cons
- All metal construction
- Lightweight and pocket sized
- Sold individually, no unwanted extras
- No set or case included
- Mechanism, manual or automatic, is not confirmed in the spec sheet
Performance notes
At 0.7 ounces this is a small hand tool, most likely struck with a hammer to dent a starting point rather than a spring-loaded automatic model, though the data does not confirm the exact mechanism.
