General Tools Hollow Steel Punch, 1/2 in, Steel

Punch clean round holes with less fuss.

A solid hollow punch for steady, tidy cuts.

Product Overview:

When you need a clean round hole, this hollow steel punch keeps the job plain and simple. The General Tools 1/2 in punch bites into gasket material, leather, rubber, canvas, cardboard, plastic, sheet metal and other soft materials, so you can work without that ragged edge that always seems to show up when the tool is off. It has side clearance to keep material from hanging up inside the punch, which is a small thing until you hear the difference, nice and crisp. Forged steel gives it the backbone you want when the work keeps coming. Set it in place and get on with it.

Key Features:

• Round hole cutting: The 1/2 in tip gives you a clean punch for gasket work, leather, rubber, and more.
• Side clearance design: Material clears out before it gums up the punch, so you keep moving instead of stopping to poke things free.
• Forged steel body: Built from forged steel, it feels solid in hand and holds up well through regular use.
• Sharp cutting edges: The cutting edge stays ready for tidy, reliable holes without a lot of wobble or fuss.
• Wide material use: It works across canvas, cardboard, plastic, sheet metal, and other soft materials, which makes it handy in the shop.
