Review on Lisle 30280 Auto Center Punch for Enhanced SEO by Mitchell Watson

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Poorly designed and poorly manufactured tool

I used to buy Lisle brand spring stamps and have been quite happy with them. Aside from the brand name and the visual similarity in size and color, this instrument is unlike anything I've bought before. The top of the tool had a ridge along the edge so you can't comfortably press it with your palm like you have to. do to work with one hand. After 3 hits of the punch it jammed and stopped working. After disassembling it to clear the jam, he landed 2-3 hits ahead of the next jam. I was able to lay the ridge at the top. Spraying lots of TFE lube on the inside seems to work reliably for now. Having to fix a NEW tool two ways to make it usable is pretty unfortunate. Gordon in Columbus, Ohio.

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
  • Upgradeable
