52-500-075-0, On-Mark Optical Center Punch

Very useful tool for me.

This is NOT just another centre punch!Most times, scribing intersecting lines and following through with an automatic (sprung loaded) centre punch or a standard centre punch is sufficient to produce a register for a drill point to locate a hole.However, there are occasions when MORE accuracy is required, particularly when multiple holes need to be produced that are in a high tolerance relationship to one another - this is a time when the Fowler 52-500-075-0, 'On-Mark' Optical Center Punch is indispensable!

This is a very well made tool and will last you a life time. Centerpunching accurately is easy

Cross hares not central so no good for precision work!!I have a spot on branded one made in the uk which is 20 years old which is 100 times better.

One of the best purchases I’ve made in a long time.This is a gotta have if your getting older and can’t see as well as you used to like me and love to fabricate. can’t go wrong!!!

I've read the other reviews. I can only assume the others received defective products. This works perfectly. Its brought my fabricator game to a whole new level.

Precise and fine

The quality is great. Much more precise than lining a traditional center punch up by hand. I don't use it for everything, but when I want to make a precise center punch from scribe lines or by laying a 1:1 scale paper print directly on my workpiece, I sure am glad to have this.

Having never used a tool like this, I was skeptical. Looking at the photo did not make it clear whether or not it would meet my needsFirst time I used it, it became clear..GREAT toolThe lens part really works well at directing ambient light down to the surface. The lens magnifies the target, even for an old dude with bad eyes. Once the target is located, replace the lens with the punch, and punch an accurate point
