This is a prime case of you get what you pay for. Anyone complaining about quality issues in my opinion is being silly. You're paying 40 bucks for TWO auto center punches. Do people think it costs 5 dollars to produce these things? You're lucky that you get this kind of quality for 40 bucks let alone two of them in case one fails.Cons: alright so for 40 bucks you do have slight issues. One is the finish on the non-painted metal. Due to the lack of a proper finish, this portion can develop rust. I had to spend a few minutes polishing both with a dremel to provide them a slight seal against this. easy enough. Second, occasionally the mechanism for punching will not work. I had 2 options every time. Either try again or quickly take it apart and put it back together. I have yet to have either of them stop working and I use them ALOT. At least a thousand times a job.I would provide a pros column but it's pretty self-explanatory. This is a value automatic center punch that shows above-average quality when compared to the average center punch on Amazon. In my opinion, these are well worth the money. If you are working with very hard metal then use some common sense and buy a better brand like Starret. Doesn't take a rocket scientist to realize these punches will be more useful to a woodworker due to the lower quality. Anywho hope I helped some tradesmen out there!

Nice product

I purchased this product for my robotics class. The students use this for punching aluminum and then hand drilling holes. This product really does come with two punches. We were pleasantly surprised that the adjustable tension was very helpful for smaller students who weren't able to push hard enough at first. Even with less tension the punch was successful enough to drill. Product comes in very nice case. I would highly recommend.

So far so good. Haven't had any issues yet and works well.

The description states pack of 2, but I received 1 that was wrapped up in a paper towel. It would have been great if I got both. Item is being returned!
