Point Punch HOGERT HT3B728, 102 x 6 mm, CrV steel

The HOGERT HT3B728 point punch is a compact, single-piece tool made from chromium-vanadium (CrV) steel, measuring 102 x 6 mm. It is designed to create precise starter marks and center punches in metal, wood and some plastics to guide drill bits and reduce wandering. Its solid construction and tapered point provide consistent contact with workpieces, making it suitable for workshop, automotive and general maintenance tasks where controlled marking and accurate hole starting are required.

Advantages

The CrV steel construction ensures a durable, wear-resistant tip that maintains shape under repeated impact. The 102 mm length offers good reach and control in confined or recessed areas while the 6 mm diameter provides a sturdy shaft that resists bending. The single-piece design eliminates joints or fittings that could loosen, ensuring reliable transmission of hammer blows to the point. The tapered point produces clear, centered indentations that improve drilling accuracy and reduce bit slipping.

Suitable for

• Center-punching and marking metal parts before drilling
• Starting holes in wood and plastic to guide pilot drills
• Automotive panel and bodywork layout tasks
• General workshop and maintenance marking where precise starter marks are needed

Key specifications

• Material: Chromium-vanadium (CrV) steel
• Overall length: 102 mm
• Shank/diameter: 6 mm
• Tip type: Tapered point for center punching
• Construction: Single-piece forged design

How to use

Position the point punch where a hole or mark is required and hold it perpendicular to the work surface. Strike the blunt end with a hammer to create an indentation; multiple light strikes produce controlled marks while a single harder blow gives a deeper center punch. For thin or delicate materials, clamp the workpiece securely to prevent deformation and use lighter impacts. After punching, proceed with drill bit positioning using the created indentation as a guide.

Usage recommendations

Use eye protection when striking and ensure the workpiece is secure. Avoid excessive force that can mushroom the punch tip; dress the tip on a bench grinder if deformation occurs. Store in a dry place to prevent surface corrosion and inspect the point before use to maintain accurate marking performance.
