Save money and get a spring loaded center punch at a hardware store.

Or one of these. It blends in better with the rest of your pens in a bag.

What is that first one used for? It's grouped with leatherworking tools when I look at it.

Center punch for drilling holes. It makes a little indent in whatever (leather, metal, wood) so your drill bit doesn't walk from your center mark, or sometimes in the case of leather, give you a starting point for your awl.

Oh that's actually convenient... For $3 I will have to pick one up.
