Center Punches

Shop the best selection of Punches at Acme Tools.

Punches are versatile tools used in various tasks, such as driving fasteners, creating holes, or making indentations in workpieces. Nail sets, which are short steel bars, partner with hammers to drive nails into surfaces cleanly. In contrast, bull pins, with their distinct length and rounded heads, help align holes in structural work, particularly in steel, preparing them for bolts or rivets. Drift punches, known for their tapered design, align or enlarge holes, working under the force applied on their larger end, while the smaller end is driven into the hole. Auto center punches stand out because they don't require a hammer; they're used for marking the center points for drilling or other similar work, providing an indentation with an automatic impact mechanism. Each punch type serves specific purposes, from aiding in fastener application to precision marking, contributing significantly to various detailed work scopes.
