I hit it a couple times with an auto punch to start. Just recently took an old broken punch and ground it down to be a little more pointed than my auto punch, but about the same size, worked like a champ. Fewer taps to move enough metal for my liking. Like using Starrett/etc, but I also like making them versus buying them whenever I have an older tool I can 'repurpose' with a couple minutes of grinding wheel love.
