MulWark 5" Spring-Loaded Automatic Steel Center Hole Punch Marker Scriber For Wood, Metal, Plastic, Car Window Puncher Breaker Tool-With Palm Cushion Cap, Adjustable Impact-A Replacement Tip Included

Had this for a couple of years now. Still working great and has become a”go tp” tool in my home shop.

I already had the more traditional automatic center punch with an all metal handle but the force required to actuate the hammer was uncomfortable. The large plastic knob on the end of this punch works great and put an end to that discomfort. Overall quality is good and I have had no issues with its function after using it for a while on plastic, wood and aluminum.

Works as expected

... and this one was the best value, by far.Of the most popular "branded" versions (tools with the name on them, and/or made for them, and not just a generic pre-manufactured one) this one surpassed all except the Starrett (which was a definite winner, but over 6x the price of the MulWark).However, while the Starrett is great, I tend to lose hole punches often. So the Starrett will be in a lock box for special occasions. lol.One factor I like about the MulWark (besides the softer palm strike) is the spare tip. I'd prefer a much harder tip as these "hardened steel" tips are not long lasting on harder materials. But, the 2nd tip is nice to have. That way, if the strike needs reconditioned, I can do a quick swap out, and fix other strike later... if I could find where I put the other tip. 🤣 🤣In closing, you won't find a better auto nail punch until you hit the $35+ range. And even then, it won't be a noticeable difference until you hit the $60 and up range.

Muy buen producto, es mas robusto de lo que creia, recomendado

No detailed instructions are included. Website offers vague but no detailed instructions . Same with YouTube also lacking in specific details.This might be a great tool but it must be a great secret to know it’s exact functionality.

So easy to use with just one hand and you can adjust the tension. Been great to have for all the projects at home. Used for metal door and dry wall projects like installing a new door handle that required drilling. Used also for hanging mirrors etc.

After a few weeks of light use, this punch failed to trigger more than 50% of the time. However, after I disassembled it and lubricated the internal parts, the punch triggered consistently. I deducted one star because it could have been lubricated at the factory.
