Overview
At 0.19 ounces, the Starrett 18A is a small hand punch from a brand known for precision measuring and marking tools, listed under Tools, Punches. It holds a 4.7 star rating across roughly 3,700 reviews.
At under a quarter ounce, the 18A is a light hand tool rather than a heavy-duty pin punch, consistent with Starrett's reputation for precision instruments. The listing does not specify tip diameter, overall length or whether it is a center, prick or transfer punch, so matching it to a specific marking job needs a closer look at the product page.

Who it's for
Suited to users who trust Starrett's precision reputation for a light marking or center-punch tool and do not need the exact tip diameter confirmed up front. Not the choice for anyone needing a heavy pin punch for driving out large fasteners, given the light weight here.
