Frequently Asked Questions

What materials can Faithfull number punches mark?

Faithfull number punches are designed to mark most metals including mild steel, stainless steel, aluminium, brass, copper, and soft iron. They're suitable for both ferrous and non-ferrous materials commonly found in engineering and fabrication work.

What size number punch should I choose?

The size refers to the character height in millimetres. For general workshop use, 6mm is most popular, offering a good balance between visibility and versatility. Smaller 3-4mm punches suit precision work and tight spaces, whilst 10-12mm sizes are ideal for bold, highly visible markings on larger components or outdoor equipment.

How do I maintain my Faithfull number punches?

Keep punches clean and lightly oiled to prevent rust. Store in their case when not in use. If striking heads begin to mushroom, carefully dress them with a file or grinder to maintain safe working condition and extend tool life.
