Locksmith Punch JUCO RDTAA L=100mm (model 13600) 100 mm length

JUCO RDTAA locksmith punch, model 13600, 100 mm length, is a hand tool designed for precise marking, punching starter dimples and transferring centre points on metal and other workpiece materials. Constructed for manual use with a hammer, this 100 mm punch provides a controlled shaft length for accurate positioning in locksmith, metalworking and maintenance tasks. Its solid body enables repeated impacts while maintaining tip alignment for consistent results.

Advantages

The JUCO RDTAA punch offers a compact 100 mm length that helps reach confined spaces while keeping good control during striking. Its robust construction resists deformation from repeated hammer blows and preserves tip geometry for accurate marks. The straight shaft and balanced weight distribution improve hand-held stability, reducing deflection and improving repeatability of punched points.

Suitable for

• Marking and creating starter dimples on metal sheets and plates
• Aligning parts and transferring centre marks for drilling
• Use in locksmithing, general metalworking and maintenance workshops
• Working in narrow or restricted spaces where a shorter punch is required

Key specifications

• Tool type: manual centre/transfer punch
• Overall length: 100 mm
• Material: hardened tool steel (solid construction for impact use)
• Intended use: hammer-actuated marking and punching
• Tip: hardened, shaped for consistent starter dimples

How to use

Position the punch tip on the intended mark or centre point and hold the shaft perpendicular to the workpiece to ensure an accurate dimple. Apply controlled strikes with a hammer to create a starter indentation; multiple light blows are preferable to a single heavy blow for greater precision. Use the punch to transfer marks for drilling or alignment, and inspect the tip periodically for wear to maintain consistent performance.

Usage recommendations

For prolonged life and reliable results, store the punch dry and inspect the tip for mushrooming or chipping; lightly dress the tip on a bench grinder only if you have the appropriate skills and safety measures. Use appropriate eye protection and gloves when striking, and choose a punch length suitable for the working space to maintain control and accuracy.
