Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons
The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

Starrett punch is small, which is a plus, and very dependable. The adjustable punch is great depending on the material you're trying to mark. The self tapping feature is easy and reliable. Leaves a precise mark with minimal effort.

Quality is peerless as expected. It delivers what it promises.

Worth the money in my opinion. Would both recommend and purchase again if needed.

The starrett is a wonderful little center punch. Great product.



Cons

Same issue on 2 in a row. Seems like a lot of hassle. Made the 'automatic' in the name meaningless. Worked for about 20 uses and then started failing to *.

Not slick and reliable like my other starrett punches. It wasn't delivered. Would have been easier to go to home depot & buy a general cheap one.

Took me a while to decide to spend the money for this center punch.


Still, they are pricey as heck - buy once cry once.


I would recommend getting the heavy duty version for about $10 more.

Starrett makes great tools and one of things that toolmakers and machinist's the world over revere in addition to that quality;...  Read More


Understand that if you order a starrett tool from amazon, the box will most likely be a casualty in the process.

Competitiveness


I can't compare this starrett to the other products since i only have this one.


It is a lot more expensive than the cheap chinese products sold under different brand names.


I had two other much cheaper ones and both failed.


It is what i expect from the brand and if i could afford it everything i have would be replaced with starrett.
