Central Tools Transfer Punch

Central Tools Transfer Punches are precision hand tools for marking hole locations. Use them to transfer an existing hole pattern, such as a bolt hole or drilled hole, onto a mating part before drilling. Machinists, fabricators and automotive technicians also call them transfer punches, hole transfer punches, or center-marking punches.

Key Features:

• Hardened tool steel construction is made to hold up to repeated striking in the shop
• Precision-ground punch bodies sit snugly in the hole for accurate, repeatable center marks
• Hardened tips leave a clear, centered mark on the workpiece
• Marked sizes make it easy to pick the right punch quickly

Typical Uses:

• Duplicating hole patterns when making brackets, mounting plates, adapter plates and flanges
• Marking bolt holes accurately for drilling in steel, aluminum and other metals
• Layout work in machine shops, repair shops and fabrication shops

Place the matching punch through the existing hole, position the mating part, and give the punch a light tap to leave a centered mark. This removes the guesswork from drilling and helps the holes line up the first time.
