16 Inch Long Alignment Punch
The Westward 2AJB5 is a 16 inch long alignment punch designed for positioning holes in metal and wood. Its 3/16 inch flat tip and 5/8 inch hexagon shank provide a stable striking surface. The tool measures 16 inches overall with an 8 inch taper length. It is sold new without a striking cap or handguard.
Hex Shank Fits Standard Wrenches
The 5/8 inch hexagon shank allows the punch to be gripped securely with a wrench or socket for added leverage. This frees the user from relying solely on hammer blows when alignment requires sustained pressure. No tether point or handguard is included, so the operator must maintain a firm grip during use. The plain grip style offers no cushioning.
No Accessories or Software Included
The punch ships alone in no container and includes no striking cap, handguard, or tether-ready feature. California Proposition 65 warnings apply for chemicals known to cause cancer and reproductive harm. No bundled accessories change the tool's function or safety profile. The product is restricted from sale in no listed states.
