I use this routinely with metal exclusively and it alway makes a nice punch. Better still the tip is of such quality that it is still in perfect shape though I will note Starrett does actually offer replacement tips. If you're working with wood or plastic even though it is somewhat adjustable the spring is probably a bit too heavy but for metal it does a great job. Review: This is the one you want. - I just want to say i have had many different brands of center punches throughout the years Harbor freight, neiko, mayhew, desertcart/ebay no name brands. They have all had certain things i didnt like, some broke, some slipped, some bent, some dulled. I knew about the starrett, but the price was just more than i was willing to pay. The irony is i should have just bought this one and saved myself money from all the others. This is one of those rare buy once cry once, pass on to your grandchildren quality tools. I work in the trades. My tools get used. I learn very quickly what is good and what isint. This is a quality tool. The weight is right. The size is right . The knurling for the grip is grippy and aggressive without being too much. Its simple and strong. The threading of parts are clean and tight. The punch requires some pressure to activate but hits hard and makes a usable divot for your drill bit. I believe in it so much i got one for work and when i used it i immediately bought another one for home. I dont think i can come up with anything negative. Other than the sticker shock. But i promise you. Once you buy this one you wont be needing/wanting a different one. Other than maybe more. ## Features - Heavy Duty - The Automatic Center Punch is made from steel that resists corrosion. The 18C model is capable of striking a much heavier blow that other sizes. - Automatic Mechanism - The Starrett Center Punch has an internal mechanism that automatically strikes a blow when downward pressure is applied, making it easy to use in any workshop application. - Adjustable Force - The force of the blow can be adjusted when used for different materials by turning the knurled cap. With this setting, it can create a perfect mark on any surface. - Precision Marking - The spring tension which regulates the blow provides a constant point with each strike, ensuring uniformity in depth and size for each setting. This makes it the perfect tool for precision marking. - Wide Range of Application - This tool can help you make a small indentation to accurately spot the location of a hole in metals, plastics, wood, and other machinable materials. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000VDVR6W | | Best Sellers Rank | #11,527 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #5 in Center Punches | | Brand | Starrett | | Brand Name | Starrett | | Color | Original Version | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 2,286 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00049659567571 | | Item Weight | 4.64 ounces | | Manufacturer | STAKF | | Material | Alloy Steel | | Material Type | Alloy Steel | | Model | 18C | | Operation Mode | Automatic | | Part Number | 18C | | Pin Hole Diameter | 0.69 inches | | Sheet Count | 1 | | UPC | 049659567571 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | pin hole diameter | 0.69 inches | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Starrett - **Color:** Original Version - **Item Weight:** 4.64 ounces - **Material:** Alloy Steel - **Operation Mode:** Automatic ## Images ![Starrett Steel Automatic Center Punch, 5-1/4" Length, 11/16" Punch Diameter - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41YwxZs4kyL.jpg) ![Starrett Steel Automatic Center Punch, 5-1/4" Length, 11/16" Punch Diameter - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61l0j5oavAL.jpg) ![Starrett Steel Automatic Center Punch, 5-1/4" Length, 11/16" Punch Diameter - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71kknGkAQyL.jpg) ![Starrett Steel Automatic Center Punch, 5-1/4" Length, 11/16" Punch Diameter - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61YV94Qw1hL.jpg) ![Starrett Steel Automatic Center Punch, 5-1/4" Length, 11/16" Punch Diameter - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51ijyBElKGL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Awesome automatic center punch! *by R***I on January 18, 2026* This model is Starrett's heaviest duty automatic center punch.
