Automatic centre-punch? It's the preferred choice of many thieves.

Keep it simple. Assuming you can swing the thing yes.


Why would you need to swing it? You simply push on the end and, when you
reach the pre-set loading, the punch is fired forward with enough force
to indent steel.


Being RHD and right handed I don't know how much force I would have. I
also prefer the seat-belt cutter with a pull action, rather than 'push'.


Sorry, I got the two links mixed up. The one my friend has is the hammer
type.

The punch one looks nice, except you don't know how much pressure you need
to make the punch operate,


The best ones are adjustable. Mine is.

and I don't like the push-cutter.
