FAQs

What is the purpose of a centre punch?

A centre punch is used to create a small indentation in a surface, typically metal or wood, to help guide a drill bit or set a nail below the surface.

What material are the punches made from?

The punches are made from heat-treated alloy steel.

How do I choose the correct size punch?

Select the punch size that matches the nail or brad head you are setting.

How do I care for my centre punch set?

Clean the punches after each use to remove debris. Store them in a dry place. Apply a light oil to prevent rust.

Can I use this set on metal?

Yes, this set is designed for use on both wood and metal.

What should I do if the punch tip gets damaged?

If the punch tip becomes damaged or mushroomed, it's recommended to replace the punch for safety and optimal performance.

Troubleshooting

Punch tip mushrooming or deforming.

Reduce the force of the hammer blow or replace the punch if heavily damaged.

Nail head not setting flush.

Ensure the punch is centered on the nail head and strike with sufficient force.

Ensure the punch is perpendicular to the surface. Consider using a nail set for better grip.
