Punches are small tools driven with a hammer, e.g. in order to leave a mark or a hole.

|---|---|
| |
| Synonyms: | DE: Körner |
| Type: | hand tool |
| Material: | metal, wood, plastic |
| Used with: | hammers |

If you want to mark something harder than the listed materials such as stone or concrete, just use a cheap nail instead of this tool!

For smaller holes, see punch pliers. For the common office tool, see two-hole punch.
As seen towards the end of a very interesting lamp build on YouTube, chucking a hole punch into a drill may actually work pretty well to cut wooden plugs (verification needed)!
Available sizes:
- 2.5 mm
- 3 mm
- 4 mm
- 5 mm
- 6 mm
- 7 mm
- 8 mm

| Type: | hand tool |
| Material: | nails |
| Used with: | hammers |
| Location: | above drilling table |
| Access Requirements: | upon reading |
| Similar (More or Less): | pin punch |
Use this punch to align drilled pieces, e.g. for riveting, or to drive nails in a little deeper without leaving ugly hammer marks. There are also varieties with a cupped end for the nail head to disappear into, but we just have a simple straight one.
Also useful for removing nail fragments from scrap wood!
