$4.99 and you can use a 20% discount coupon with it as well.
Every bit as useful as the General version above that Harbor Freight copied it from. I also have a Starrett drill point gage, and it is classier, but no more useful, and somebody paid a lot more for it.

Blue (or felt marker) the end of the bar. put the swing arm (as illustrated above) in the middle of the angle so it's somewhere near the center of it. clamp it there. Put the device (drill gauge) on the end of the bar with the two sides of the angle against the diameter of the bar and draw a scratch in the bluing. Rotate 90º and repeat, Do that two more times and you will have a tiny square in the middle of the bar. Center punch in the middle of the square. There you go.
