Marking Drill Start Points: The main purpose is to create an indentation that acts as a guide for a drill bit, preventing it from "wandering" or slipping across the material's surface when starting a hole.
Precision and Alignment: It ensures that holes are drilled in the exact, precise location marked, which is crucial in fabrication and assembly processes.
Material Compatibility: These punches are effective on various materials, including metal, wood, and plastic.
Pilot Holes: For larger diameter holes, the centre punch mark serves as a guide for a smaller pilot drill bit, which is then followed by the final, larger drill.

Aligning Holes: Its primary use is to align two or more components with semi-aligned bolt or rivet holes. The tapered end is inserted into the holes and driven in, forcing the components into perfect alignment so a fastener can be inserted easily.
Driving out Pins/Bolts (Assisted): A drift punch can be used to completely remove pins or bolts from holes after they have been initially loosened or driven out partially by a drive punch.
Disassembly Aid: It is valuable in automotive and mechanical repair for positioning parts and separating tightly fitted components by applying force to the large end of the taper.
Force Application: Force is applied to the large (flat) end, never the tapered tip.
