Description
Product Overview
We are incredibly proud to offer the official Makers Market Tungsten Carbide Centre Punch, custom-manufactured exclusively for us by the master toolmaker Corin at Niroc Tools in Australia. If you are tired of constantly re-grinding dull, mushroomed steel punches, this is the lifetime upgrade your toolbox needs.
- Tungsten Carbide Tip: At the business end of this punch is a specially selected, proprietary grade of tungsten carbide. It is engineered specifically for exceptional impact resistance and toughness. It will easily punch harder materials and hold a needle-sharp point significantly longer than standard HSS when working on softer stock.
- Premium Brass Body: The body is individually hand-turned from solid brass, giving the tool a satisfyingly rigid and weighty feel in the hand that perfectly balances the strike of your hammer.
- Exclusive Makers Market Knurling: Featuring our custom Makers Market branding integrated directly into the legendary “Niroc Knurl.” It provides a highly aggressive, slip-free grip for oily fingers while remaining surprisingly gentle on bare hands during extended layout work.
- Lifetime Serviceability: This tool is designed to be maintained, not thrown away. The carbide insert can be easily re-sharpened using standard silicon carbide or diamond abrasives. If you ever manage to chip it, the tip is shrink-fitted—simply heat the brass body with a torch, drop the old insert out, and press a new one in.
