When you use transfer punches, you will get the middle of the hole exactly every time that you want to drill into a piece of metal or wood. You “transfer” the center of the hole with a tip on the punches that creates a dent that will not punch through your material. Then, you can comfortably fit your drill into the hole so it does not move around.

While most punch sets usually have 28 pieces, some products include a wider variety of sizes. You can also trace an outline on your material with the varied sizes so you know exactly where to drill to create a secure connection.
