I have a half dozen automatic center punches, most are cheap models that were given to me with some other purchase. Most cheaper models have a housing of aluminum that eventually break at the threads. One of the nicer ones has a red wooden top, but the tip is not hardened, so it is only good for use on wood, plastics and softer metals. One is a Starrett clone. It has a hardened tip, but the action is unreliable, often requiring me to shake it to reset it between punches. So I’ve got lots of experience and frustration with the typical automatic center punches—enough to be not very fond of the style—Except that I have one Starrett. It was handed down to me about 50 years ago, it was likely manufactured over 70 years ago—in the US. It still works perfectly, every time, on every metal. I have wanted to have another one to keep in my Jeep, but the current price for a Starrett replacement is over 75$. It’s just been hard to to do for secondary use.These Sandor models aren’t equal to my Starrett, but they come real close. I doubt they will perform as well over 70 years from now, but then, I won’t be around to know. What I do know is the ones I received feel like my Starrett and perform like my Starrett, but the pair cost a third less than a single Starrett. I now have one with my emergency medical supplies (for breaking auto glass) and one in my mobile toolkit.But the old Starrett, it will remain my go to tool at my work bench. My trusted friend has not been surpassed.

There is nothing inherently WRONG with these punches. But you are not going to make a living using them. The quality and accuracy is just good enough for hobby use. But they will not last."Some Assembly Required" - meaning that through transport vibration or never being assembled correctly in the first place - component parts were loose and had to be tightened up before use - and I'm not talking about the adjustable tension.Nice case to stop them getting dinged in the tool drawer.

These two automatic center punches together are less than ½ the price of one Starrett. They operator flawlessly. Time will tell how they will hold up but I’ve been playing with one of them on aluminum and steel plate and tripping is consistent with no lock up. The tip is still nicely pointed; no dulling of the point. I measured the push-down force required to trip the hammer and I measured: 53 pounds of force when the end cap adjustment is fully screwed in (C/W) and 25 pounds of force when it is fully unscrewed (CCW to the point of almost falling off).On steel the depth of the dimple and its diameter seem to be about the same despite the tension adjustment. I measure approximately 1 mm dimple diameter. If your intent is to create a dimple to center a ‘large’ diameter drill bit, you will really need to first drill with ~1/16 drill bit to give you enough of a pilot for the larger drill.I wish Sandor offered replacement tips. I don’t see any on Amazon that look the same (see 2nd photo). I guess if the tip gets dull I can just sharpen it on my Aluminum Oxide grinding wheel (good for HSS).BTW, If you’re curious how an automatic center punch works (as I was even after taking it apart and scratching my head), ‘mrpete’ on YouTube does a great job explaining. Do a search for “What Makes it Work? #24â€. I know you’re going to want to take one of these punches apart so it’s good you’ll have a second one to use as a reference when you attempt to put the 1st one back together.
