Fowler 52-500-290 Hardened Steel Super Heavy Duty Automatic Center Punch, 6" Length, 0.625" Diameter

I got tired of working with a lower quality auto centre punch with a red plastic knob. I was constantly disassembling the tool to lube the internal pin as it would not reset properly. I was ready to buy a Sterrett for more than double the cost of this Fowler auto centre punch but glad I didn't. The Fowler is more than adequate for my wood working needs & any metal jobs as well. The Fowler is all metal & very heavy compared to my old tool & sets a hole too deep on hard wood if it is set to the strongest position. I have it about 1/3 the strength & it still leaves an indent far deeper & larger than the old punch. The reset action after using is immediate & solid. Quite impressed for the cost compared to the cheap punch. Can't compare to a Startett but for my needs, the Fowler is an excellent investment.

Quality product, works great for my requirements.

Very solid, powerful and simple

Excellent

Good
