General 78P Steel Punch Point 6 X 5/8 Inches

Product Description

The GENERAL 78P is a steel punch point designed for precision layout and marking work in trade and industrial settings. Measuring 6 inches in length with a 5/8-inch diameter, this punch point delivers clean, accurate center marks on metal and other hard surfaces. It is constructed from steel for durability under repeated impact. Licensed tradespeople and machinists working in fabrication, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical rough-in rely on punch points like this for consistent hole-starting and layout accuracy.

This punch point is suited for use in metal fabrication shops, mechanical rooms, and field service environments where precise marking is required before drilling.
