The square knurled grip prevents the tool from rolling when set down on a workbench, keeping it where you put it during a job. At 5 inches in length, it is a standard-size punch suited for one-hand use. The tip is accurately centered and ground at the proper angle to deliver consistent indentations for drill starting points. The body is hardened and properly tempered for durability under repeated strikes with a hammer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis center punch is used by machinists, pipefitters, electricians, HVAC technicians, and general trade professionals for marking drill start points, scribing locations, and transfer punching. It fits naturally into any tool pouch or toolbox and is a standard item on service trucks and in fabrication shops. The 5-inch length works well for both light bench work and field use where controlled, accurate marking is needed before drilling into metal panels, pipe brackets, or structural components.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSquare knurled grip prevents rolling on flat surfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHardened and tempered body for long service life under hammer impact\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTip accurately centered and ground at proper angle for consistent drill-point starts\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e5-inch overall length suits one-hand use in bench and field applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact size fits standard tool pouches and service toolboxes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose center punch compatible with standard layout and marking applications across metal fabrication, mechanical service, and construction trades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCenter punches are hand tools requiring no power source or fastener installation. Always wear safety glasses when striking a punch with a hammer to guard against metal chip ejection. Position the tip precisely on the marked location before striking to avoid off-center indentations. Inspect the tip periodically for wear or deformation and regrind or replace when accuracy is compromised.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrip Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Square knurled\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardening\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hardened and tempered\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: STARRETT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 51284\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"STARRETT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51525505188146,"sku":"51284","price":28.42,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/starrett-51284-center-punch-5-inch-knurled-grip","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
