The TZ-14 is a handy automatic centre punch from ENGINEER a long established & highly regarded precision Japanese hand tool manufacturer.

  • Sharp Carbide tip
  • Can be used for hard materials (such as metals) but also plastics etc.
  • Punching is actuated by simply pressing downwards firmly on the main body of the tool
  • Pen type styling (with clip) - convenient to carry or store in a top pocket.
  • Made in Japan

Please note: This product has been imported from Japan - the accompanying packing instructions are all in Japanese, but the tool is very simple to use/operate. A translated version of the operating instructions is as follows...

1. Align the tip of the punch perpendicular (upright) at the position you want to 'punch'
2. Press the end cap downward vertically until you hear a 'click'

For harder materials turn the top dial clockwise (this ensures more impact)- for softer materials turn the top dial anti-clockwise (less impact)

Please test first on an inconspicuous area of the target work material first....and make adjustments as necessary.



A translated version of the precautions for use are as follows...

  • Never hold the 'target' material in your hand while punching (there is a danger of material movement/slippage and your hand being injured)
  • Do not hit the top of the punch with a hammer etc.
  • Do not use on brittle / fragile materials (e.g. glass & some plastics etc.) as these may crack or shatter when subject to impact
  • Whilst using on materials where the tip is prone to slipping, please be sure to push the handle down slowly
  • Do not touch the tip of the tool during use
  • Do not use for purposes other than intended for the tool
  • The tip of the tool is sharp, take extra care when handling the tool
  • This tool is non-insulated - be sure to turn off any power prior to use.
  • Always wear safety goggles while using the tool
