The Starrett 264C center punch is 3-3/4" long and has a 3/8" thick square shank with a 3/32" (2.5 mm) diameter tapered point. The punch has a tempered steel shank for strength and a hardened steel point for wear resistance. The shank is knurled for grip and has a square shape to prevent it from rolling when placed on a work surface.
Center punches make small dimple marks in a workpiece to help guide a drill bit. Manual center punches have a metal shank with a point and are typically tapped with a ball-peen hammer to mark the material. Automatic center punches have an internal spring mechanism that enables them to mark the material without using a hammer, leaving one hand free for steadying the work.
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.

Typical Starrett quality that marks the industry standard.

Small, simple, well machined, and quality through-and-through. It's a center punch, so not much else to say functionally. Quality far exceeds anything you'll find at your local big box store, and probably at comparable pricing. Requires much less force to mark pilot holes in hardwood than my previous POS punch, and the pinpoint tip keeps the punch on-target for striking.

My drill bit stays exactly where I want it to. I do a lot of different metals including stainless and aluminum and it marks the metal perfectly for my starter bit which is a 4 mm.
