Your cart is empty.The Starrett 816 are the punches to use when precise positioning of a point or an intersection of lines is required. The points are carefully ground to the correct taper, which is sharper than the normal center punch. This allows exact placement of the point, providing sharp impressions. Starrett Precision Measuring Tools have been the standard for high quality dimensional measuring tools since 1880. Starrett punches are of the highest quality on earth. As simply as they are, punches are designed for specific applications. The drives are heat treated and seasoned to absorb repetitive shock.

Probably the nicest center punch I've ever used

Starrett makes some of the best tools you'll ever use. This center punch is no exception. The tip is sharpened to a fine point and is durable. Do yourself a favor and buy the right tool for the job the first time. If you don't, you'll buy it after you throw the first piece of junk in the scrap bin.

This feels like a quality tool. It worked as advertised for the first few times but dulled quickly when a used on mild steel

Starrett makes the best punches. The quality of the steel makes all the difference.

Starrett hasn't let me down. This is the only Starrett i can afford but great for punching metal for pilot drill bits. Looks attractive and knurling is clean and sharp. No imperfections.

I used this for staking the castle nut on my AR 15. This size punch is perfect. The point was extremely sharp when new, it has blunted slightly after a few uses but still does its job very well. My first couple of practice stakes were meh, but my third attempt was superb.

I use this as a center-punch for screws and forstner / brad-point drill bits. Probably one of the finest punches I've ever had the pleasure of owning. The machining is absolutely perfect, the weight is perfect, and most importantly, the tip is spot on and easily visible up next to the workpiece for easy placement on your marks. It's true Starrett quality through and through.Yes, there are cheaper punches out there, an ~$8 for a punch can seem pricey, especially if you are striving for a set of different diameters and lengths. Having said that, I feel confident that this punch will withstand years and years of use and that you will not regret owning it.

You might think that a punch is a just a punch, but this is beautifully made!
