I learned what a set of transfer punches was back in my early days helping in the shop. I never had much use for them myself. Fast forward and I do a little bit of fab and sheet metal between my Jeep and stuff around the house hobbies. I found myself wishing I had a set. $13 at Harbor Frieght and I have something that works great for the few times a year I need them. But when you need them you really need them! For example, marking the center for all the holes in the panels I was mounting on my jeep. Find the one that fits the hole size of the panel, slip it in, give it a tap, and you have a mark to show you exactly where to drill for the bolt hole. These are 3/32 up to 1/2 an inch in 1/64 increments. Simply brilliant.
