Built for Real Farm Work
This punch handles everything from marking holes for new hydraulic fittings to creating starting points for drilling out broken bolts. Whether you’re working on tillage equipment, hay machinery, or heavy tractors, having clean pilot marks makes all the difference between a professional repair and a frustrating afternoon fighting wandering bits.
Made to Last
Farm equipment repair means hitting steel, sometimes hard steel, and this punch is built for it. The heat-treated construction takes repeated hammer strikes without mushrooming the head, while the black oxide coating keeps rust at bay even when it sits in a toolbox for months between uses.
Good to Know
Hold the punch perpendicular to your work surface and give it one firm tap—that’s usually all it takes. For thicker material or harder steel, a second tap will deepen the mark. Keep a small file handy to touch up the point when it gets dull, and you’ll have years of reliable service from this tool.
