As an aside you probably wouldnt on softwood, but, basically, would anybody do that, seeing as how they dont have points? Its not like a proper centre punch costs a lot of money.
I don't know what you are talking about.
Keitai did some fantastic alterations to my wardrobes, he cut down the height of the doors and honestly you can't even see where it was done.

Stanley do three sizes. The largest can even be used for small oval nails... Bahco do 4 sizes, Starret do 5... I think
No, I've always found the 3 standard sizes are sufficient. Then again, I don't use nails a lot unless it's for rough form work or casing where the nail heads are flush will be eventually covered.
As a DIYer over the years.
I now have
2x 150cm combination Bacho Squares
1x 30cm Bacho combination square.
4x standard squares of various lengths from 6" to 18" from 1970's
2x Roofing Squares - 7' & 12" Metric & Imperial
1x 24" x 12" square, Metric & Imperial
1x 24" adjustable Square 0 to 95 degree (Lidl)
Impressive.
Regarding above pixs. I know hole punches are not used for big headed nails
It was just to give scale. The nail positioned up to the punch (in pix)was the smallest I could find. I just seemed to remember the one I borrowed being bigger than the biggest Stanley one but could be wrong. I thought the nails have to be small enough to fit INSIDE the punch not same size

Not really, just purchased them over the years as i needed them, often on deals , purchased since 1979 , upto last Saturday for the 1x 24" x 12" square, Metric & Imperial, while making a Window seat box / Toy Box and needed to square up large space for doors on the top.
How can you ask such a basic question?????????????????????????
