Wilde Center Punch, 7/16" US-Made

Wilde Center Punch, 7/16"

The PC1432.NP/MP Wilde Center Punch (7/16") is a precision marking tool designed to create accurate starting points for drilling in metal, wood, or other materials. Forged in the United States from high-carbon molybdenum tool steel, this center punch is built for durability and consistent performance in demanding shop environments. Each punch is individually heat-treated and hardened along its entire length, with a tempered striking end that stands up to repeated hammer blows. Its sharp point creates a clear indentation that keeps drill bits from wandering—because drilling usually goes a lot better when the bit starts exactly where you intended.
