MulWark 6" Automatic Center Punch for Metal - Spring Loaded Center Punch Tool with Extra Replacement Tip - Adjustable Impact One-Handed Spring Punch for Wood, Plastic, Stainless Steel, Silver

Bueno elección ayuda mucho al momento de realizar un trabajo

I recently ordered a set of step drills for use in sheet metal, but the automatic punch that came with them made such a poor dimple in sheet steel that my drills wandered. It worked okay in aluminum or wood but I often needed something stronger. This is it. It made a no-nonsense dimple in the formed sheet steel beams of my shed where the other one had failed. How long it will last I cannot know. Because they include and extra point I suspect that it is not highly hardened steel, but I'm sure that I can sharpen it on a grinder if I damage it by using it on something harder than itself. Meanwhile I can continue to use it with the replacement point.

I have been using this for various materials and it has worked great.

I needed a replacement auto center punch, and this one had decent reviews. Maybe I got a dud, but it doesn't "snap" probably half the time. This makes it hard to use, to the point of not being useful.

Worked as it should

I hardly got to use this punch before it broke. But since I didn’t start using it till after the return date, I’m stuck with it. I guess you get what you pay for. What did I expect when it’s made in China.

The MulWark Center Hole Punch package shows a website to register the product for Lifetime Warranty. After getting into the website I have to select a product to register. The center hole punch product number MLK-53856 is not on the list. I couldn’t register it for the “ Lifetime Warranty”. This is frustrating.

Works well. Makes a good dimple even on steel. Knurling is just right for a good grip. A slight roughness/drag that I expect will smooth out with more use. Deducting one star for that since I think better manufacturing/machining/quality of components would let it work smoothly right out of the box.
