Granete manual Hazet 746-1 — Herramienta manual de acero

Hazet 746-1 — hand center punch made of hand tool steel designed to create precise indentations in workpieces before drilling or marking. The tool has a compact, robust construction that delivers consistent manual performance and reliable control. Its solid steel body and hardened tip provide durability and repeatable results when setting accurate starting points in metal, wood and other materials.

Advantages

The hand center punch offers a simple, sturdy design that requires no adjustments or power source, ensuring immediate readiness and low maintenance. Its construction from hand tool steel and a hardened point gives high resistance to wear and deformation, maintaining accuracy over time. The compact form factor improves handling and access to confined areas, while the balanced weight assists in delivering controlled impacts for clear, centered indentations.

Suitable for

• Marking drill centers on metal sheets and plates
• Creating starter dents in wood before drilling
• General workshop layout and scribing tasks
• Automotive and machinery maintenance where precise starting points are needed

Key specifications

• Material: hand tool steel body with hardened tip for durability
• Type: manual center punch for single-point indentations
• Shape and size: compact, ergonomic cylindrical profile for comfortable grip
• Finish: machined steel surface for corrosion resistance and longevity
• Intended use: manual punching of precise starter indentations on various materials

How to use

Place the tip of the center punch on the marked point of the workpiece and hold the tool perpendicular to the surface. Strike the blunt end with a hammer to produce an indentation of suitable depth; the number and force of strikes determine the size of the dimple. For accurate alignment, steady the workpiece and use a ruler or marking gauge if required. Ensure the tip is clean and intact before use to maintain consistent results.

Recommendations

Use eye protection and secure the workpiece before punching. Select an appropriate hammer weight to match material thickness; lighter strikes for thin materials and firmer blows for thicker or harder materials. Periodically inspect the punch tip for wear and dress or replace if the point becomes rounded to preserve accuracy.
