How it works ... or doesn't work.
I bought this to replace a similar item that was lost in a move many years ago. I received this center punch today and right out of the box it didn't work, so I decided to see why not.What's happening inside (see photos): As you compress the tool against a surface, the firing pin pushes against the hammer until the end of the compression stroke. The firing pin is held crooked in its spring and it will not straighten until the top of the compression stroke at which point it aligns with the hole in the hammer. When it aligns, the hammer is allowed to fall against the thicker section of the firing pin and this drives the point into your work surface.What can go wrong: If the firing pin and hammer align prematurely, the firing pin slides into the hammer before it can develop any spring tension behind the hammer and you will get either a very light strike or maybe no sensation of a strike at all. If the firing pin catches on the rim of the hammer and never aligns, then you will get all the compression necessary for a good strike, but the hammer will not fall and no strike will occur.How to fix it: There are videos available that show how to repair this tool when it malfunctions, but what you'll need to do is remove the front tube from the middle tube and pull out the firing pin and spring. Make sure the firing pin is NOT straight in the spring; it needs to be forced to one side so it can press against the rim of the hammer. If necessary, remove the spring from the firing pin and bend the spring it so the firing pin is forced to one side of the spring (also in photos).I also found that the contact faces of the firing pin and hammer can be lightly polished so they slide more easily against each other, but this is tricky—if you polish them too much or even slightly chamfer the edges, the firing pin may slide too easily off the face of the hammer and you'll get consistently light strikes.After doing all of this, mine works ... most of the time. I still get occasional light strikes or no strikes and when it starts acting up I need to take apart the tool and spin one or more parts to get new alignment.Three stars for being less than $4.
