Prick
A prick punch is similar to a centre punch but used for marking out. It has a sharper angled tip to produce a narrower and deeper point. It is also known as a Dot punch. The mark can then be enlarged with a centre punch for drilling.

Famous quotes containing the word prick:
“If you prick us, do we not bleed? If you tickle us, do we not laugh? If you poison us, do we not die? And if you wrong us, shall we not revenge? If we are like you in the rest, we will resemble you in that. If a Jew wrong a Christian, what is his humility? Revenge. If a Christian wrong a Jew, what should his sufferance be by Christian example? Why, revenge. The villainy you teach me, I will execute, and it shall go hard but I will better the instruction.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“O if we but knew what we do
When we delve or hew—
Hack and rack the growing green!
Since country is so tender
To touch, her being so slender,
That, like this sleek and seeing ball
But a prick will make no eye at all,
Where we, even where we mean
To mend her we end her,
When we hew or delve:
After-comers cannot guess the beauty been.”
—Gerard Manley Hopkins (1844–1889)
“When you have our roses,
You barely leave our thorns to prick ourselves,
And mock us with our bareness.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
