HHIP 8600-0041 28 Piece Transfer Punch Set, 3/32" - 1/2"

So I had it freight forwarded to Japan via DHL, as Amazon wouldn't ship directly here. I ended up paying >$300 to get it here with the air freight and customs charges!Fortunately the quality is pretty decent. On the smaller diameter punches, the rods were straight and not crooked, which may happen after heat treatment. Chamfering on the non-punch ends are nice and even.Frankly, I don't know how often I have actually used anything over 1/2", but the larger sizes are nice to have. I mainly need them for mounting large and heavy woodworking and metalworking machinery to work benches, as I am in the process of setting up my dream workshop. Want to get those mounting holes accurate! I am drilling through 2-1/2 inch thick laminated wood table tops. Nice!

I like the value of these. I got a set for my job at work and like them quite a bit. So, I had to get another set for my home shop. If these are used as intended, as transfer punches, they should last and hold up just fine. If you want to use them as a center punch, then good luck to ya. They might endure, they might not. Probably not, but most transfer punches won't. I don't think you could pay less for a better set. But you could certainly pay more for an inferior set.

HHIP 8600-0043 25 Piece 1-13mm Metric Transfer Punch Set I don't need metric transfer punches all that often, but they do come in handy at times. This is a nice, inexpensive punch set well enough made to be useful and a good value for the price.

Perfect for what I needed

Every shop needs a good set of transfer punches. If you have to ask what transfer punches are, then you probably don’t know how to use hand tools. If that’s the case then good lawd, it’s time to grow up and become self sufficient. If you do know then it is a good set.

Well, as they say... "you get what you pay for". These were very cheap compared to American made versions and it shows. The very first use I had with one it fell tip first, a very short distance, about 3 feet onto a concrete floor and blunted the tip considerably. These are not hardened very much and will dull much quicker then say a more expensive American made version. That being said they are about 1/5th the price so as I stated before you pay less you get less. As long as you don't drop them and only hit them about 1/4 as hard as you'd hit a center punch they will most likely last you years, maybe 3 tops if you use them gently just enough to make a mark visible for your center punch. This is assuming your using them on metal like steel. If you use them on softer objects like wood especially, they'll last much longer, but I'd still not hit them very hard. If you'd use these every day all day long, don't skimp and buy American made so you know they'll be hardened properly. The tips truly are quite soft. Also don't drop them tip down lol... duh.

my husband was impressed when i gave these to him

Been wanting this set for a while

My husband says this set is a great addition to his growing workshop. He says they’re a really good quality and at a very good price

Rirn à redire. Je recommande produit et vendeur

Buen producto a excelente precio

I have used these a few times in Mild steal plate and so far they are holding their tips and staying sharp, this was my biggest concern at this price point, but so far they are holding up, great value - not sure they will hold up over time but so far so good.

All of these are smaller than nominal. For instance, 2mm is really 1.83. If you need high precision than look elsewhere. Having said that, these are fine for what I use them for. If I need higher precision I use a brad point bit. Nice set of punches otherwise. I wouldn't expect the tips to hold up to hard metals but I use these for wood, plastic and soft metals so they are perfectly adequate.
