Crafted from hardened steel with a knurled grip, it offers durability and ergonomic control in a compact 5-1/4" length. Ideal for professionals seeking precision and reliability, this punch is a trusted staple in workshops since 1880. ## Description Product Description The Starrett 18C heavy-duty automatic centre punch with adjustable stroke is 5-1/4" long with a 11/16" (17 mm) diameter for creating a starter dimple without the need for a hammer. This heavy-duty model is capable of striking a heavier blow than the Starrett 18A and 18AA automatic centre punches. It has an adjustable stroke, which can be set by turning the knurled cap and is regulated by spring tension for uniform dimple size at every setting. The punch is made from hardened and tempered steel components that provide wear resistance and strength. It has a round handle that is knurled for grip. The point can be removed for replacement or sharpening. Centre punches make small dimple marks in a workpiece to help guide a drill bit. Manual centre punches have a metal shank with a point and are typically tapped with a ball-peen hammer to mark the material. Automatic centre punches have an internal spring mechanism that enables them to mark the material without using a hammer, leaving one hand free for steadying the work. The L.S. Starrett Company manufactures precision measuring tools, metrology and testing equipment and saw blade products. The company, founded in 1880, is headquartered in Athol, MA.

I like it a lot *by C***N on 20 June 2025* I am super happy with this product. Solid and sturdy. I have been using it for a few weeks and did not have any issues yet. The heaviest use was for a project where I had to do punches for 170 holes. It worked great. My only remark is that the spring mechanism seems quite hard and you need to put quite some pressure to get the automatic punch. But I understand that it is supposed to be like this. I used gloves, took some breaks and finished my project. ## Frequently Bought Together - Starrett Steel Automatic Center Punch with Adjustable Stroke - 5-1/4" (130mm) Length, 11/16" (17mm) Punch Diameter, Lightweight, Knurled Steel Handle - 18C - Starrett Steel Automatic Center Punch with Adjustable Stroke - 5" (125mm) Length, 9/16" (14mm) Punch Diameter, Lightweight, Knurled Steel Handle - 18A - Starrett Automatic Center Punch with Hardened Steel Metal - 100mm Length, 11mm Punch Diameter Tapered Point - 18AA --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hk/products/268071684-starrett-18c-automatic-center-punch-heavy-duty-with-adjustable-stroke](https://www.desertcart.hk/products/268071684-starrett-18c-automatic-center-punch-heavy-duty-with-adjustable-stroke) --- *Product available on Desertcart Hong Kong* *Store origin: HK* *Last updated: 2026-07-30*
