Need punches that hit the mark every time without walking or slipping? Finkal delivers exactly that: hardened steel punches built for tradies and serious DIYers who need clean, accurate marking on metal, timber and other materials. Whether you're centre-punching drill starts, driving out pins, or aligning bolt holes, these tools handle the job with no fuss.
Choose from individual sizes or a complete Finkal punch set to match your workshop needs. A quality Finkal centre punch makes all the difference when you're drilling into steel or aluminium, because one solid strike creates a clean dimple that holds the drill bit exactly where you want it. No wandering, no second attempts.
A Finkal pin punch set is just as reliable for removing roll pins, driving out damaged fasteners, or knocking out rivets without damaging the surrounding material. The tapered design concentrates force right where it's needed, and the hardened construction stands up to repeated hammer strikes without mushrooming or chipping.
Tool Kit Depot stocks the full range of marking and alignment gear to keep your metalwork, joinery and mechanical jobs running smoothly. We also carry everything from centre drills to screw extractors for when fasteners don't play nice.

Finkal FAQ
What are Finkal punches used for?
These punches are used for marking drill locations, driving out pins, aligning holes and removing damaged fasteners. Centre punches create a dimple that stops drill bits from wandering, while pin punches are designed to drive roll pins, rivets and dowels without damaging surrounding material. They're essential for metalworkers, mechanics, fabricators and anyone doing precision joinery or assembly work.
What's the difference between a centre punch and a pin punch?
A centre punch has a tapered point designed to create a starting dimple for drilling, helping the drill bit stay centred. A pin punch has a straight, parallel shaft that's meant to drive pins, rivets or dowels through holes without getting stuck. Use a centre punch for marking and alignment, and a pin punch for removing or installing fasteners.
Are punch sets worth it?
Yes, buying a set gives you multiple sizes in one go, which saves time and money compared to buying individual pieces. A complete set covers most marking, alignment and fastener removal tasks, so you've always got the right size on hand. Sets also come in a case or roll, keeping everything organised and ready to grab when you need it.
How do you maintain these tools?
Keep your punches clean and free from rust by wiping them down after use, especially if they've been exposed to moisture or cutting fluids. Store them in a dry place, and check the striking end regularly. If it starts to mushroom or crack, grind it back to a safe profile or replace the punch. Avoid using punches as pry bars or chisels, as that'll damage the hardened steel and reduce their accuracy.
