A punch tool includes a body having a contoured profile configured for holding in a user's hand. The body includes at least one opening for receiving a user's digits and the contoured profile has at least one extension configured for contact with another of the user's digits. A strike portion for applying an external force is located at an upper portion of the body centered on a force line extending through the body. An impact portion is located at a lower portion of the body concentric with the force line and has an end tip configured to focus at least a portion of the external force to a work surface.

The self-contained force magnifying tool disclosed herein includes a tool portion, a striker, at least a portion of which is disposed within the tool portion, and a spring, a least a portion of which is disposed within the tool portion. The spring attaches to both the tool portion and the striker. When the striker is pulled by a user, the spring stores mechanical energy. When the user releases the striker, the striker impacts on the tool portion transferring the mechanical energy stored in the spring into a driving force. The force is magnified by a tool disposed on the tool portion of the self-contained force magnifying hand tool and applied to a workpiece.

This disclosure describes systems, methods, and devices for accurately locating the center mark for a center punch on a metal strut, which is commonly used to support cable trays and pipes in various industries. The device solves the problem of inaccurate center marking by using a center punch and a punch alignment guide. The guide sets the punch in a precise position, and by placing the device on the strut and pressing a button, a small indentation is made on the metal to mark the center point accurately. This ensures that drilling or cutting tools do not slip or wander and that holes or cuts are placed accurately.
