Starrett Steel Prick Punch Set with Plastic Case and Knurled Grip for Precise Positioning and Secure Holding - Hardened and Tempered Steel, 4" Length - 5-Pack - S816PC

The Starrett S816PC five-piece set includes three prick punches with 5/64", 1/8", and 5/32" diameter tapered points and two center punches with 1/16" and 3/32" diameter tapered points. The prick punches provide a sharper point for more precise placement, while the center punches create a standard starter dimple. The punches are made from hardened steel and have round shanks that are knurled for grip. The set comes with a plastic case for storage. Center and prick punches are used to make a dimple mark in materials to guide a drill bit. Manual punch hand tools have a metal shank and a shaped or flat point that is typically tapped with a ball-peen hammer to make a pre-drilling indent. The L.S. Starrett Company manufactures precision measuring tools, metrology and testing equipment, and saw blade products. The company, founded in 1880, is headquartered in Athol, MA.What's in the Box?Starrett 816A prick punch with 5/64" diameter tapered point and 4" overall lengthStarrett 816B prick punch with 1/8" diameter tapered point and 4" overall lengthStarrett 816D prick punch with 5/32" diameter tapered point and 4" overall lengthStarrett 117AA center punch with 1/16" diameter tapered point and 3" overall lengthStarrett 117B center punch with 3/32" diameter tapered point and 4" overall lengthPlastic case
