Punches

Punches create a visible indentation in the material. A centre punch gives a drill bit a positive starting point, which stops it wandering. Other punches are used for marking or setting out positions. They are ideal for drilling preparation, fabrication and general workshop marking.

Scribers

Scribers draw fine, permanent lines on metal and other hard surfaces. They are useful for marking cut lines, bend positions and datum references, especially where pencil or marker pen would be too thick or would rub off. Use them with a rule, square or template for sharp, precise layouts.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I choose a punch or a scriber?

Choose a scriber to draw fine lines for cutting, bending or setting out. Choose a punch to create an indentation, such as a start point for drilling. Many jobs need both: scribe the line first, then punch the hole positions along it.

How do I get the best results from a marking punch?

Hold the punch square to the surface and place the tip exactly on your mark. Give it a controlled strike with a suitable hammer. Start with a light tap to check the position, then strike harder to deepen the indent. Wear eye protection, and replace or reshape tools with damaged or mushroomed heads.
