Overview
The Starrett S248PC is a punch weighing 1.6 pounds with dimensions of 1 x 1.2 x 8.5 inches, sized as a handheld tool rather than a bench fixture. Starrett is an established maker of precision measuring and layout tools.
At 8.5 inches long and just over an inch wide, the S248PC fits the profile of a handheld punch meant for marking or driving rather than a large shop press. Its 1.6 pound weight keeps it manageable for one handed use. The listing does not specify tip type, spring mechanism, or material, so those details are unknown.

Who it's for
Machinists and metalworkers who already trust Starrett for layout tools may add this punch to a kit for marking or pin work. Buyers who need a specific tip style confirmed, such as automatic versus manual action, should check that detail elsewhere since it is not listed here.

- From an established precision tool maker

Performance notes
Dimensions of 1 x 1.2 x 8.5 inches point to a slim, elongated handheld tool, consistent with a punch meant to be gripped and struck or pressed rather than mounted. Weight at 1.6 pounds sits toward the lighter end for a metal punch, which usually means it is built for control rather than heavy impact.
