Overview
A drill point mark starts with a punch like this one, a long slim tool that is struck on its end. The listing calls the shape long and gives a four inch length in a black metal finish.
Marking tools in this size are easy to carry in an apron or drawer, and the all metal build suits shop use. The listing does not give tip angle or tip size, so check that it suits the work.
Who it's for
Metalworking shops, auto repair benches and home garages where hole locations get marked by hand. A user who wants an automatic punch should look at a different model, and those who need a set of sizes should look at a kit.
Pros and cons
- Compact four inch length
- All metal construction
- Single piece, no setup
- Inch measurements listed
- Tip details not listed
- Needs a hammer
- Warranty terms vague
- Color is black only
Performance notes
The hammer blow is concentrated through the tip into a small dimple, which guides a drill bit and stops it wandering. Tip sharpness and the force of the strike set the mark depth. A longer body makes it easier to hold steady and position.
