CP0PP0 PUNCH PRCK&CTR 1/8X3/16

Overview

The HIT Tool Prick Punch and Center Punch (CP0PP0) is designed for precision layout marking and center-punching operations in metalworking, fabrication, and general hardware applications.

Technical Features

• Dual-punch configuration (1/8 in and 3/16 in tips): provides two dedicated tip sizes in a single tool, reducing the need to swap between separate punches during layout work.
• Spring-loaded shank mechanism: delivers a consistent, self-actuating strike force without the need for a separate hammer, enabling one-handed operation and repeatable mark depth.
• Steel construction: provides the hardness and durability required to mark steel, iron, and other ferrous workpieces without tip deformation under normal use.
• Black-oxide finish: provides a surface treatment that reduces light reflection and offers a degree of corrosion resistance, extending tool service life in workshop environments.
• 7 in overall length: offers a balanced grip length suitable for controlled hand placement during precision marking tasks.

Applications

• Prick punching for initial layout line intersections and scribed mark locations on metal stock.
• Center punching to create drill-start indentations that prevent bit walk on metal surfaces.
• General fabrication and metalworking layout tasks requiring precise, repeatable punch marks.
• Bench work and field applications where a hammer-free, spring-loaded punch improves speed and accuracy.
