General 79P Steel Punch Point 5 Piece

Product Description

The GENERAL 79P is a steel punch point designed for use with compatible scribers and layout tools in trade and industrial settings. Each set includes five individual punch points measuring 0.5 inches, precision-formed from steel for consistent marking performance. These points are used to scribe, center-mark, or transfer layout lines on metal, wood, and similar hard surfaces. Machinists, pipefitters, sheet metal workers, and maintenance technicians keep these on hand as expendable replacements for worn or broken tips on scribing instruments.

The 79P punch points are suited for light fabrication, layout work, and general bench use in both shop and field environments. Their compact size and steel construction make them a practical consumable for any tradesperson performing precision marking or transfer work. Packaged in a quantity of five, they provide multiple replacements in a single purchase, reducing downtime when a point dulls or breaks during a job.
