Hardware Setting Punch
This walnut handled spring-loaded center punch assists with accurate centering of screw start holes in hinge installation and similar and helps to prevent the screw following grain when driven and pushing the hinge askew. When you tap the hammer button, the hardened centering tip is punched into the wood and retracted into its original position by a spring. A 45° cone on the tip centres the tool in the bore hole or the counterbore, allowing it to be used in premounted cabinets without a good view of the screw hole. The tool can be completely disassembled and consists of a stainless steel body, a replaceable centering tip and a walnut handle with protective stainless steel end cap.
