Dasco Pro530 Center Punch, 1/4-Inch

Not much to say. This is a much better than average 1/4" center punch that should stand up to abuse better than the more cheap alternatives.

Nice center punch for metal work. I have a several that I use and this one works nicely. The finish won't stay on it after heavy use but hey, its a center punch. It's not supposed to win a beauty contest.

Another reviewer mentioned he had a non uniform punch mark. I too have that and on close observation, the tip is amaturishly hand ground. This is a huge problem for me as I work with fine tolerances an the center mark is not consistent.

Dasco Pro 530 is a good center punch for the price. Good punch for light use and compact size (1/4"x4") works well to have in your pocket. The picture is not the actual product (picture is the "Dasco Pro 534, 1/2 inch"). Out of the package, the point seemed to be hand ground with a flat side on the tapered point which made an odd punch mark on metal but was easily corrected with a file. Probably not suited for daily metal work but good for woodworking or light metal use.

Very small but great quality, worked great.

This is a great center punch, good quality and leaves a good mark. I've always had great luck with Dasco tools, they are good quality and reliable.

Good quality punch, so if you need one, this will do.

Works fine and Made in the USA
