Force = mass x acceleration this has been a simple yet very powerful concept since isaac newton’s time. At Spring Tools, we create tools based on this principal. Our tools are about the size of a ball point pen yet have over 3500 lbs of striking impact and use No other outside force such as a hammer. Simple is good the spring tool concept is designed to re-direct energy in a very concentrated area between (2) very strong carbon steel pieces that are permanently connected by a spring made out of high tensile strength music wire. So good that we guarantee our nail sets & center punches to be the best in the world. Easy to use energy can be released in very small finessed tapping motions on precision work surfaces such as fine wood. Longer pulls can deliver a whopping impact that can drive a large box nail through a piece of lumber or center punch through cold rolled steel. The old way all spring tool products are made with industrial grade materials and have been designed for the professional tool user. Our tools are designed and made in the U.S.A.

NEVER fails to work, unlike cheap "automatic" push type center punches, but takes two hands to operate. Really nice on thin sheet metal, where pushing hard to operate the punch might not be an option.

Despite the beveled tip, it is still very hard to keep the tip centered in the hole. This makes it very hard to keep the punch tip centered in the transfer hole. Maybe with some practice it might be better, but not good just out of the box,

wish I could give it a negative star or two. ordered two of these, because i have one from 18 years ago and was like yes, I finally found a place that sells them online and can ship to my base, well guess what these are not the same quality as the ones from 18 years ago. these are hot garbage.... While punching a point to center a drill the first one snaped its hardened point clean off. the second one lasted about two weeks on the 5th or 6th use it did the same. meanwhile the one I have had for almost 19 years is still going strong

Very simple tool that works. No hammer needed. Excellent for marking screw holes for hinges, etc.
