Overview
The General 87 is a punch tool weighing 0.07 pounds, about 1.1 ounces, making it one of the lightest items in this category. No dimensions, material or description are published for the listing.
At just over an ounce, this weight is consistent with a small hand tool, such as a scratch awl or a light center punch, rather than a heavy drive punch meant for striking with a hammer. General Tools is a known maker of marking and layout tools, but the listing itself offers no further detail beyond weight and category.

Who it's for
Buyers who already know the General 87 by model number and just need weight confirmation for a toolbox or kit build out. Not useful for anyone comparing punch types or tip styles, since none of that is listed.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Very light at 0.07 lbs, easy to carry in a kit
- Clearly identified by model number for direct lookup
- No dimensions, material or tip style listed
- No description or reviews to confirm the tool's exact use
Performance notes
A weight of about 1.1 ounces is far lighter than a hammer struck drive punch would typically be, which points toward a light marking or scratch tool rather than a heavy duty striking punch, though the listing does not confirm this directly.
