Very good quality and extreme accuracy

This review is for 2024 New Upgraded Pipe Center Finder Matte Black, Pipefitter Tools With Centering Head, Measure Pipe Diameter Over 1/2" & up With 4" Y-Type Base and Adjustable Dial Bubble Protractor This is a very handy way to find the exact center of a round sectioned part for drilling. The protractor allowed one to mark holes at the exact top or at any angle up to 90 degrees either side of top dead center. The tool is made of aluminum with a well marked protractor dial and a level to set top dead center . The dial is marked in 2.5 degree increments against an index mark in the body. The index mark is just a groove, but can be read with good lighting. I will probably paint the index mark to make it easier to use. The punch part is 6" long with a flattened mushroom hear to more easily tap it with a hammer. The point has a roughly 30 degree bevel. I tried the tool on 6061 aluminum, black pipe, mild steel tubing and stainless tubing. All were adequately marked with a fairly light tap with a small hammer. I did not observe any damage to the point as supplied. If needed, the point can be sharpened, but care should be taken to keep the center of the point in the exact center of the punch or the accuracy of the tool will be compromised. Remember, this tool is for putting a mark on the work, not necessarily for creating a large divot in the work. If one needs a deeper divot for drilling purposes, use a proper hardened center punch. This is a very handy tool, although something that may not be used every day. For the price, you can't go wrong.

I used it one time and the tip flattened on me instantly. DO NOT BUY. LOOKS COOL. VERY CHEAP QUALITY.
