Description
Overview:
The Priory 271 Automatic Centre Punch (PRI271) is a compact, spring‐loaded marking tool for fast, accurate starting points before drilling. Built with robust metal construction for everyday site and workshop use, it delivers a clean dimple that helps guide drill bits and reduces wandering on metal, plastics and some hardwoods. The single‐handed action removes the need for a separate hammer, making it practical when one hand is holding the workpiece. Impact force is adjustable via the screw cap so you can tailor the mark to the material. At 125 mm (5 inches) long, it is easy to control and store in a pocket or toolbox. Suitable for general engineering, fabrication, automotive, and maintenance tasks using hand drills and pillar drills.
Key Features:
- Automatic, spring‐loaded action for one‐handed use-no hammer required
- Adjustable striking force via screw cap for different materials
- Robust all‐metal construction for durability and long service life
- Accurate mark helps prevent drill bit skating and improves hole placement
- Compact length: 125 mm (5 inches) for easy handling and storage
