Williams Comfort Products P-42 Center Punch 6 Inch

Product Description

The WILLIAMS COMFORT PRODUCTS P-42 is a center punch designed for accurate hole-starting and layout work on metal surfaces. The punch features a 0.5-inch point diameter and an overall length of 6 inches. It is used to create a precise indentation before drilling, preventing bit walk and improving hole placement accuracy. Machinists, fabricators, pipefitters, and maintenance technicians keep this tool on hand for marking steel, copper, and other metals during field or shop work.

The P-42 is suited for trade professionals who need a reliable hand tool for layout and marking tasks in mechanical, plumbing, HVAC, and general fabrication settings. Its compact 6-inch length and standard 0.5-inch point make it practical for both bench work and in-place service situations where access to a drill press or layout table is limited.

Key Features

• 0.5-inch point diameter for precise center marking
• 6-inch overall length for comfortable single-hand use
• Suitable for metal marking ahead of drilling or punching operations
• Lightweight at 0.031 pounds for easy portability in a tool pouch

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose center punch for use in mechanical, fabrication, and trade service applications where a standard 6-inch hand punch is required.

Installation Notes

Strike the P-42 with a ball-peen or machinist hammer to seat the center mark before drilling. Ensure the workpiece is secured before striking to prevent movement. Eye protection should be worn during use. No power tools or code-specific procedures are required for normal layout applications.
