NEIKO 02638A 5-Inch Automatic Center Punch for Metal, Adjustable Impact Spring Loaded Center Punch Tool, Spring Punch, Center Punch Spring Loaded, Auto Center Punch

I needed a holepunch that would punch through cans. Originally I ordered a punch that advertised the ability to punch through thin metal. Perhaps they were talking about foil. The pink handles should have been a clue, I guess. It did not punch through cans. It was no Bueno.Went on another search and found these NEIKO punches. The pictures showed men punching through car metals. Excellent. I ordered.This punch is WONDERFUL. It punches through cans like butter, perfect clean holes, no sharp edges, and has sizes that fit my grommets. The handles are sized for a man's hand, but I can still use it with my small arthritic hands. I highly recommend.

I have some really nice awls that I use for marking places for holes. I do have a problem with drill bits not feeling the awl dimple. Looking for something else to make this easier I found this punch on line. For what it cost I couldn't be happier. It leaves a little bigger dimple and makes it much easier for drill bits to auto center in the mark. I am surprised how much I like and use this punch. It's earned a permanent place in my tool apron. After using it for five weeks, I would recommend this to anyone looking for a good punch.I use it in woodworking and it works perfectly.

Solid construction, works well

EDIT: Functional, I noted that they did not have markings, after using them for several weeks (in a well-lit shop) I finally noticed the orange stand has sizes molded faintly into them. These are quite difficult to read unless you tilt the case just right. The punches themselves do not have size markings on them. Perhaps, that’s the result of the price, which is affordable!

Works nice ,I like how you can adjust the tension of the punch

My most used tool. Works great, makes metalworking layout a breeze. How did I go so many years without this.

This product is well built and works great. The dies are very sharp and durable.

Excellent tool, total quality, love the case it comes with to keep things organized. Bought it to mainly to use the 1/4 and 9/32 punches in 20 gauge steel. This purchase was to replace the DENT FIX punch I’ve been using in Auto Body Work which eventually broke that is set at 1/4 only and costs twice the price. Highly recommend.
