What Customers Are Saying
The product is a well-constructed center punch that performs effectively for a variety of tasks, such as starting holes, setting nails, and working with tough materials. Many users praised its quality, hardened tip, and ability to withstand heavy use without dulling or bending. However, a minority of reviewers reported issues with the punch bending or breaking, especially for larger nails or more demanding applications. The tool may not be suitable for the most delicate or heavy-duty jobs, but it appears to be a reliable and durable option for general workshop use.

The Irwin Center Punch

Poorly made, not suitable for its purpose.
Would Not RecommendImmediately after removing the punch from its plastic sleeve container, i noticed that the pin was bent, with a run-out of 1/32". Not at all acceptable, as no punch thys bent can sustain normal driving force. The pin, labeled as 1/16" would not enter a precisely machined hole of 1/16" inch! The finishing of the tool is very rough. Thus tool appears to have simply come from a bin after casting and the application of a plastic sleeve, having no applied machining for dimensional tolerance. It's en...
It would be nice if they sold a somewhat smaller one by itself also. This one is too large for certain task.
