Everyone at work borrows these all the time. They are called transfer punches. What they are used for is transfering the exact location of a hole from on part to another. If you look at the picture you will notice that each punch has a pointed end on it . This point is in the exact center of the round punch. What you do is find the punch that best fits into the hole that your wanting to transfer the location of to another part. Clamp the two parts together. Then insert the pointed end of the punch into the hole . Then lightly tap the opposite end of the punch with a hammer. Now you have successful and quite easily transfered the location of your hole. These only work for material an 1/8" and thicker.
I got these from my local Harbor freight store for under $10. They are quite durable. The guys at work and I have been using them on stainless steel for at least 6 years. Not bad for a cheap Harbor freight tool.
