So...I knew the basics of what a punch is, but seeing these made me want to go and research more about them. I had no idea that there were so many different punches with different purposes. A nail punch is used to drive a nail in so that it will sit flush with (or below) the surface. A center punch is used to mark the center of a point, usually when drilling. Those are the two main types, but there are also others: a doming punch is used to shape material (often in conjunction with a doming block), and decorative stamps, including letters, numbers, and other designs, are used to create an image in a malleable surface.
