Steel Prick Punch Set with Plastic Case and Knurled Grip - 4 Length, 5-Pack

The five-piece Starrett S816PC set includes three prick punches with tapered points of 5/64", 1/8", and 5/32" diameter, as well as two center punches with tapered points of 1/16" and 3/32" diameter. Prick punches offer a sharper point for precise placement, while center punches create a standard starter dimple. These punches, made of hardened steel, have knurled round shanks for better grip. The set comes in a plastic case for easy storage. Prick and center punches are used to create dimple marks in materials to guide drill bits. Manual punch hand tools have a metal shank with a shaped or flat point, usually tapped with a ball-peen hammer to make a pre-drilling indent.

The L.S. Starrett Company, founded in 1880 and headquartered in Athol, MA, manufactures precision measuring tools, metrology and testing equipment, as well as saw blade products.

For a perfect DIY project every time, prick punches are essential. They help create an indentation in the object so drilling holes can be done without slipping and ruining the project. Easy to use, simply position the punch on the mark on the workpiece and strike with a hammer for various applications such as marking holes, scribing lines, aligning parts, and more.

Starrett punches, made of specially selected hardened and tempered steel, offer exceptional durability and resistance to wear and tear for long-lasting use. With a knurled grip for stability and preventing rolling when laid down, the prick punch is reliable and suitable for any project. Featuring accurately centered tips for precision, the points are ground to the correct taper, sharper than a normal center punch. Lightweight and compact, it is convenient to carry anywhere for optimal performance.
