FAQs
Can I use this punch on concrete?
No, this tool is specifically designed for metalworking. Using it on masonry may damage the tip.
What kind of hammer should I use with this punch?
A standard ball-peen or engineer's hammer is recommended for optimal control and impact.
Is the tip replaceable?
No, the tip is integrated into the forged chrome-vanadium construction.
What is the hardness rating of this tool?
The tool is hardened to 52-58HRc for superior durability.
Why is the body knurled?
The knurling provides an improved grip, reducing the risk of the tool slipping while being struck.
Troubleshooting
The punch tip is slipping off the target
Ensure your center point is marked clearly with a pencil or scribe and that you are striking the punch head squarely on the axis.
Punch is showing signs of rust
Clean the surface with a fine abrasive pad and apply a light coat of machine oil before storing in a low-humidity environment.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Durable chrome-vanadium steel construction
- Excellent grip due to the knurled body
- Maintains sharp tip integrity under repeated use
- Professional-grade quality for consistent results
Cons
- Limited to 2.5mm diameter marking
- Requires a separate hammer for manual striking
- Not suitable for heavy-duty demolition or prying
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Using the Facom centre punch is straightforward: place the tip directly over your marked location and strike the head firmly with a ball-peen or engineer's hammer. To ensure the longevity of the tool, wipe the punch clean of metal shavings and debris after each use. Store it in a dry, organized toolbox to prevent oxidation. While the steel is hardened for durability, avoid using the tool on excessively hardened steel surfaces that exceed the punch's 58HRc rating, as this may lead to premature tip deformation.
