5.0 out of 5 stars Great Punch, January 2, 2008
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: General Tools 87 Pocket Automatic Center Punch (Tools & Home Improvement)
This little punch works better than I would have expected for the price. I bought it as a backup to my Starrett punch but find I am using it more. It's light weight makes it convenient to keep in a shirt pocket.

1.0 out of 5 stars Waste of time, January 7, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: General Tools 87 Pocket Automatic Center Punch (Tools & Home Improvement)
I used it twice. The second time was to show a friend how cool an automatic centre punch is... and the tip broke right off... he laughed at me!!!

Don't bother with this one - move on!

Returned for refund.

1.0 out of 5 stars Rarely Snaps, September 9, 2010
By 
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: General Tools 87 Pocket Automatic Center Punch (Tools & Home Improvement)
Nice exterior build.
This device depends on a slightly bent interior rod eventually finding a hole to "snap" into. I got a lemon..... the rod is straight...every time I try to use the punch, the interior rod slips effortlessly into the hole...hence NO SNAP! The snap is what imparts the punch impulse to the device..... It works perhaps 1 time out of 20. Useless! Too much pain to return. Whatever happened to quality control?
