Good quality
A nicely made product that feels solid and works well. I've used it quite a few times already and it's worked perfectly. Some reviewers mention that after a while it ceases to work. This hasn't happened to me yet but as the solution presented (to bend the spring slightly) seems very easy to apply, the possibility doesn't concern me unduly. Very pleased with this product, would buy it again.

Decent but a little weak.
Works really well just a little bit weak. have had it on full strike since I've had it. Used it daily for the last 6 months.

A useful tool.
I wish I had bought one of these sooner. Used it numerous times since I purchased it. It makes a perfect 'punch' to position the drill bit. The punch strength is adjustable for different materials. Good value for money and an essential tool for my toolbox.

Worth the extra money as it actually lasts compared to cheaper punches
Very reliable, good constant punch. Fed up buying cheap ones that constantly end up letting me down so I spent the money on a brand punch and have not been disappointed. Buy once.

Consistent and accurate marking out
Extremely well engineered product. It was put to use immediately upon delivery and improves the accuracy of marking out significantly. The adjustable feature allows repeat centre marking to consistent depth. In some cases it can replace the need to pencil mark and be used directly upon the material to be processed. I've been very impressed with this seemingly inconsequential tool and it's the first thing I put on the bench when preparing to mark out. Highly recommend.

Punzón de centrado de máxima calidad
Punzón automático de centro de muy buena calidad y precisión. Compré este modelo, junto al hermano pequeño 18AA y hermano mayor 18C. Justo este modelo 18A he tenido que retornarlo a Amazon para un reemplazo, ya que se quedaba bloqueado y no rearmaba de forma automática. Entiendo que se trata de un fallo puntual y por eso doy las 5 estrellas. Al usar los 18AA y 18C no he tenido ningún problema con ellos y han funcionado a la perfección, con un resultado muy muy preciso. Estoy seguro que cuando tenga el nuevo reemplazo, éste funcionará perfecto. He realizado un trabajo que consistía en marcar 110 puntos con ambos 18AA y 18C y no han perdido ni un solo rearme. Una vez recibido el reemplazo, funciona a la perfección.

OK come da aspettativa
Non capisco perché alcuni clienti si sono lamentati, per me è eccellente come da grandi aspettative, anzi, fa proprio un bel buco anche con poca pressione (su legno morbido). Funziona bene ed ha un prezzo (in offerta) ancora più basso di molti altri equivalenti di marche sconosciute. Se lo beccate in offerta consigliatissimo, è proprio un gran bell'oggetto.

Très bon produit, efficace
Je viens juste d’acheter celui-ci car j’avais égaré le précédent, un 18AA. Celui-ci est pareil mais un peu plus gros donc plus puissant. Il fonctionne à merveille et ces pointeaux automatiques méritent largement 5 étoiles. Certains commentaires reprochent le manque de puissance. Il faut savoir ce qu’on peut attendre d’un produit. Je trouve au contraire ce 18A un peu trop puissant et plus difficile à manier que le 18AA, que je préfère car la force pour déclencher est réduite, ce qui permet de pointer le trou à coup sûr. L’impact du 18AA est très suffisant pour l’alu et aussi pour les panneaux melaminés de meubles de cuisine etc : ça évite de déraper avec les mèches à pointe centreuse. Et, au cas où, il y a le 18C qui marque l’acier sans pb mais au prix d’une force importante (à ne pas utiliser sur tôle fine, il fait une cuvette). Donc, si vous n’en avez qu’un le 18AA est le meilleur choix si vous n’avez pas à travailler l’acier. Pour l’acier, il vaut mieux le 18A, objet de l’offre ci-dessus. Et, chance ! J’ai retrouvé mon 18AA ...
