5/16 Inch Center Punch

The Mayhew center punch is designed for mechanics and metalworkers who need to mark precise starting points before drilling. Its hardened tip creates a clear dimple that prevents drill bits from wandering on steel, aluminium or other sheet materials. The tool suits professional garages and home workshops alike.

Capacity and headroom

The 16th-inch tip diameter handles typical pilot-hole sizes found in automotive and fabrication work. It will not cover larger layout marks or heavy structural steel that requires a wider punch. Users needing a broader impression or a set of multiple sizes should look elsewhere.
