Automatic center punch P17 series

Overview
The Automatic Center Punch P170 provides consistent, repeatable dimples for drill starts, riveting and layout work without the need for a hammer. The point‑and‑press mechanism delivers controlled strikes suitable for materials ranging from hardened steel to delicate wood, helping to maintain drill-bit alignment for accurate starts.

Why the PEC Automatic Punch is a Toolbox Essential

• Spring-Loaded Action: No hammer required. Line up the point and apply downward pressure; the internal spring mechanism trips automatically to deliver a controlled strike.
• Fully Adjustable Impact: Knurled adjustable cap lets operators set the strike force to match material hardness and application.
• Hardened & Replaceable Point: Precision-ground, heat-treated tip maintains its geometry; the P171 replacement point is available to restore original performance.
• Multipurpose Versatility: Intended for center punching prior to drilling, the consistent impact is also suitable for marking, staking, riveting and emergency glass breaking in safety kits.
• Knurled Grip: Textured body offers a secure, non-slip hold for precise positioning in confined spaces or when wearing gloves.
• Typical Uses:
• Marking: Accurate layout marks on metal, plastic and wood.
• Staking: Locating and securing pins or screws.
• Riveting: Initiating or finishing small rivets.
• Emergency Use: Reliable tool for breaking glass in emergency kits.
