Klein Tools 66313 Center Punch 0.5 in Shank 6 in

Product Description

The KLEIN TOOLS 66313 is a center punch designed for marking precise starting points on metal, wood, and other hard surfaces before drilling. The 0.5-inch shank diameter and 6-inch overall length provide solid grip and controlled striking force, making it a reliable hand tool for electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, and general tradespeople. A center punch is used to create a small indentation that prevents drill bits from walking off the mark, improving hole accuracy and reducing bit wear. This tool is suited for layout and marking tasks on the job site or in the shop.

The 66313 is appropriate for residential and commercial trade work where accurate hole placement is required. Common applications include marking conduit knockout locations, pipe hanger anchor points, sheet metal layout, and general structural drilling prep. It performs well on steel, aluminum, copper, and similar materials encountered in day-to-day trade installations.

Installation Notes

Use with a ball-peen or cross-peen hammer appropriate for hand punch work. Position the punch tip precisely on the layout mark before striking to ensure accurate indentation. Eye protection should be worn at all times when using striking tools. Inspect the punch tip regularly for mushrooming or deformation and replace the tool if the striking end shows significant wear.
