Stanley 16-227 Center Punch 1/4 Inches

Product Description

The STANLEY 16-227 is a 1/4-inch center punch designed for marking drill start points on metal, wood, and other workable materials. The punch creates a precise indentation that guides drill bits and prevents walking on hard surfaces. At 0.18 pounds, it is a lightweight, hand-held tool suited for bench work and field use. Electricians, plumbers, HVAC techs, and general trade professionals keep center punches in their kit for layout and fabrication tasks. The 1/4-inch tip diameter makes it appropriate for standard pilot-hole marking across a range of material thicknesses.

The 16-227 is used in residential and commercial trade work wherever accurate hole placement is required. Common applications include marking conduit mounting holes, pipe hanger locations, sheet metal layout, and equipment panel penetrations. It is a single-unit hand tool suitable for any trade professional who performs drilling or punch-out work in the field or shop.
