Spring Loaded Center Punch

I have a punch that is a center punch on one end and a ***** punch on the other with a spring in between and don't remember where I got it.
I want another one and wonder if anyone knows where to get one.

Thanks.
Mike.

Take it to a welding/metal shop, if they don't have it they will know who does.

I have a automatic center punch. It is spring loaded. You pick your spot and press down. Spring will load up and then release making the mark. Mine is a Starret. Try a McMaster Carr catalog.

Harbor Freight have em for about $5.00. Very handy when riding the Kawa when some dozy idiot cuts me up or swerves right into me. They have a rather satisfactory effect on side windows...

This is the part of the description I don't get: "...center punch on one end and a ***** punch on the other..."

I have a couple of the type of punches that the other guys here are mentioning. You can buy them at any tool store including Sears. But that does not fit the description of a punch on BOTH ends??? Is the punch sharp on both ends??? That is why I asked for a picture.
