To solve this I attached the hammer to the punch. Place the punch where needed, raise the hammer slug and let it drop and you're done.
The punch itself is a long 1/4" rod with a hardened point fitted to the end and held in place with a small setscrew. The hammer is a steel slug fitted with a bored out 3/8" guide tube "Pin It")

The punch itself is a long 1/4" rod with a hardened point fitted to the end and held in place with a small setscrew. The hammer is a steel slug fitted with a bored out 3/8" guide tube that is a smooth sliding fit on the punch. An aluminum end cap protects the punch tip when the tool is stored.
All assembled, it looks like this...
A small hole in the end of the hammer slug, closed with a setscrew, holds additional punch tips.
