A quick video to show how to make one of my most used tools - a modified spring filled center punch that I call a 'pinger'. Enjoy - and Happy Pinging!

That's actually a brilliant idea! Love it. I may take one of my cheap Harbor Freight ones and do this. Thanks for posting.
I like your nice idea and your very pretty hands Fran!!! Good work👍👍👍👍
Excellent idea
Hillarious…..
This is about improving a tool's usability, not actually making the tool. Misleading title. No offence.
I love the auto center punch. Wonderful for removing rivets and stuff.
Such a great idea. No one else has come up with anything similar so thank you for this.
pretty simple yet helpful design, Thanks
counterbore? lol, a few "good blows"
7 minutes of talking for a hole in some stick
I just epoxy a gear shifter knob on the end of the punch. The ball fits in the palm of my hand.
Now my punch has 4 speeds
A handy weapon, for sure.
Make sure you get the glue down deep inside, that's what I always say.
I love the part where she turned a centre punch into an offset centre punch with a handle.
Hmm…I wonder if you could put something onto the stapler end of a typical Arrow T50 staple gun? Squeeze the lever, and * ping *. Or am I overthinking things again?
Nice oner Fran. Another variation on this that I saw years ago was to take an old door knob (the roughly spherical kind, though I suppose a mushroom-shaped one would work too) and modify it to fit over the end of the punch, so that it distributed load over the whole of your closed hand.
