Robb...
If a fellow doesn't have a spring loaded punch...does he use a Pointed punch, or a flat drift style punch? Does the punch need to be any specific type of material, or Rockwell hardness?
I want to have a go at this, but don't want to buy a spring loaded punch for one application.
Thanks for your reply!

Just don't get distracted by looking at your wife.
I know a guy who accidentally shaved off an eyebrow (was using a beard/mustache trimmer, IMHO too big a tool for the job at hand) and lost focus looking at his wife as she got out of the shower. So he then trimmed the other one off too. When I first saw him, I thought he had lost a bet or something.

I bought the spring loaded punch from Home Depot a few weeks ago and tried it. After a few tries, I got a couple of faint marks and the tip of the punch is now blunt. I guess I'll try again with something a little more high quality than Stanley tools. David.
The first one I got at Home Depot basically did the same thing, and I'm glad I tested it on a different piece of metal before thinking about doing it to me my DD QD Mount/ retaining plate.
These come in different sizes, tip material and spring power. So, I picked one up at my ACE Hardware store that was "beefier" and had a much harder tip. Looks like carbon steel, and it didn't deform when applied. I still had to hit it 4-5 times (Like GotM4 did with his) but it did the job, and came out pretty good.
I'll be taking back the one from Home Depot.

Habour Freight makes a pretty sturdy one and it only 1 buck.
