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,

You adjust the knob on the end to whatever suits you. Given the
application, I suggest that should be the highest you can manage. IIRC,
the Moore and Wright one was adjustable from 0.5lb (just marks brass) to
9lb (nice indentation on steel).

and I don't like the push-cutter.
