Definitions:

Center Punch

A tool with a pointed end used for making indentations in materials such as metal or wood, usually as a guide for drilling.

Diamond Point

A type of sharp-pointed tool tip, often used for precision work or engraving, characterized by its extremely hard material, typically diamond.

Aligning Punch

A tool used to align holes before inserting fasteners, ensuring proper alignment of components.

Huck Fastener

A commonly used production line fastener used in place of a nut and bolt that ensures more accurate clamping pressure. Uses air-over-hydraulic pressure to establish stud clamping force before locking with a crimp-type fastener. Often robotically installed on an assembly line. Less commonly used in service shops because of the bulk and awkwardness of the installation tooling, so Huck fasteners are often replaced with nuts and bolts.
