Hand-Held Center Punch for Metal, Plastic, Wood
The Westward 2YNF1 is a spring-loaded automatic center punch designed for single-hand operation. Its adjustable blow force lets users set impact intensity without a hammer. The tool suits mechanics, fabricators and woodworkers who need precise starter marks for drilling or alignment.
Knurled Black Oxide Steel Body with Carbide Tip
The 6-inch round shank measures 3/4 inch in diameter and carries a black oxide finish for corrosion resistance. A knurled grip area provides secure handling in oily or wet conditions. The hardened carbide point stays sharp longer than standard steel tips across metal, plastic and wood substrates.
Spring Mechanism Delivers Consistent Impact
The internal spring stores energy when the body is pressed down and releases it automatically on contact. No striking cap or handguard is included, so the operator controls placement directly. Adjustable force reduces the risk of workpiece damage while maintaining repeatable marking depth.

Questions about this item
How does the adjustable blow force on the 2YNF1 change the impact for different materials?
The adjustable blow force lets you tune the spring tension so a single hand strike marks soft wood or hard steel without a hammer.
What clearance does the 3/4 in round shank and 6 in overall length need in a tool pouch?
The punch fits a standard 3/4 in round tool slot and needs at least 6 in of depth plus room for the knurled grip.
How do you set the strike force before the first use?
Rotate the knurled handle to tension the internal spring until the test mark on scrap matches the material hardness.
