typical Starrett Jan 04, 2010
By Kerry Pierce
"kerrypierce"
Excellent machining on the tool, like all of the Starrett tools that I own. And, like all Starrett's I own, it comes without an instruction manual. I guess that they figure if you're buying Starrett, you don't need instructions. :-)
The tool has a very wide range of operation, when you turn the top knob to adjust the striking force. It would likely dimple soft wood very significantly, at its lowest setting though. The point is very sharp and you can mark soft items quite well, by simply applying a little downward force that isn't sufficient to compress and release the spring that strikes the tip.
The tool is very light and easy to handle, with lots of gripping area, if needed. A pocket clip would have been a welcome addition to the tool, but other than that, I can't think of any cons. It's a very nice tool.

Strong enough for Stainless Steal Sep 23, 2010
By Steve Schreiber
I was impressed. On the highest setting this was able to dimple stainless steel. On the lowest setting it was able to give a reasonable mark in wood. The only issue is that the knob turns so freely it is hard to keep on a low setting. I may end up marring the threads a little so it doesn't adjust so easily. I guess Starrett is so used to making everything work smoothly, when friction is helpful they have problems. :)

center punch Apr 27, 2010
By Thomas Acciari
easy to adjust, works like a charm, a wide range of settings, from a tiny pinhole to a large punch point!

Pretty nice, kinda pricey though Nov 14, 2011
By Metalliclops
The company I work for has been using Starret for years so I figured I'd go to with Starret. While I was waiting for it to ship, I purchased a cheap auto center punch at Menards for around $7 to do some work on my truck I had been putting off. This Starret is 1000x better. For non-commercial applications, I don't think it's worth $30, but I'm rating the item not the price, so I'm giving it 5 stars.

Excellent quality Oct 07, 2011
By azog
I don't need a punch very often, but when I do, I want one that works. A bit on the expensive side, but I'd rather spend more money on a high quality tool that will last forever, than skimp and get a cheap tool that breaks the first time I use it. I've had punches with replaceable tips, but they seem to break at inopportune moments. This one has a shaft that is a single solid piece. I doubt anything I ever need to punch will break that. Very nicely machined. Easy to adjust, has quite a range of power between the loosest to the tightest, at which setting I could barely trigger!
