Questions & Answers

What hole punches are available in square shapes?

While I have not seen any made by Neiko, square hole punches can be found depending on the There is one offered by EK Tools that you can use for paper applications. In the case of wood applications, Lee Valley Tools makes one that requires you to drill an undersize hole first, then use their punch to square it. In the case of metal, Greenlee makes a knock-down manually Square holes can be made using the out punch (up to mild steel 14 gauge). Founded by Hassay Savage in 1858. Makes Rotary square punches (such a tool is called a broach). It is also possible to purchase broach kits. If you do some research, you'll probably find others as well.

Does it say Made in U.S.A. on the box?

There is no such thing as Sino-American products, they are

Are you able to drill a hole in copper washers with this tool? Earlier, I had a metal punch which punched through a few times, but broke after a few punches. ?

I have cut 28 mil (0. 5 mm) copper sheet all of the time. Easy to handle 7 mm) sheet. There is not much accuracy in 40 mil (1 mm) since the jaws are very wide open. I think most copper flat washers will be 1 or 2 microns thick instead. You should not have any problems with me since I am 7 mm. I can try a few washers for you if you send me a few. Please let me know your address so I can send it to you.

Is it possible to make clean holes in leather belts with this tool?

In the past, I have cut leather with my tool and had great success just from looking at the holes, they are very precise, while there are some faint pressure marks on the leather.

I would buy from this company again
5/5

I've been using this for years and it saves a great deal of time. Having to drill a lot on 16 gauge steel is an ongoing problem for me, as I make plate armour out of this heavy steel. Therefore, I've destroyed several drill bits. A hole punch like this will have you done within 30 seconds, turning jobs that take 20 minutes Punched holes are clean, so drilling won't need to be cleaned up afterward! It has a substantial weight to it and does not feel cheap at all. Despite its age, it was in pristine condition and was It is impossible to punch through 16 gauge metal by hand, but if your workpiece is clamped down in a vice and supported by a solid bench or anvil, it works as advertised. Make it easier to work by attaching a pipe to the handle. The process of making a slot by drilling multiple holes at the same time works flawlessly and can even eradicate burrs. As the punch is only about 2 inches deep, I will still need to use a drill to drill anything deeper than that, but for 90% of my needs, the punch will cover the needs. I really like it because it saves me a lot of time as well as cut down on noise. You will find this punch to be so much more efficient and faster than a drill after just a few uses. Not having bought one sooner makes me regret not doing so.

Those studs are 18 ga
4/5

, and they can be used for the work very easily. It would be nice if the handles were a little longer. Please see https//www. nbsp My son tried punching holes through a light gauge stud 18 ga and the work was very easy for him. My only wish is that the handles were a little longer to give a better level of comfort.
I have not tried it out with 16 gage material yet, but since it is simple to use a self tapper screw instead for my particular application, I will try it out soon.

You'll love it, it'll do what you want it to, and it'll do it This drill is adjustable so that the distance from the hole it makes can be set
5/5

While I was a kid, one of these metal punches was used to punch holes with when I worked with my uncle. The tool was used to punch holes in the edges of aluminum storm windows in order to attach them to the cover of the regular window on our this tool to punch holes in some heavy gauge steel that is 4" wide and 10 feet long. I used it to fill the gap between the porch roof and main roof where it meets. I was able to punch holes easily, and it has a variety of hole sizes to choose from. The fact that this is well made ensures you will never have to buy a similar item again, unless someone steals it.

Designed and made in Taiwan
5/5

The quality of the product is good. Neither the Neiko nor its function can be compared with any other product. I would appreciate your input. A statement that Grizzly products in general or Chinese products in particular are not indictments The two cases are not comparable in this case.

I like how it works
5/5

In order to recreate the aviators desk from RH, I ordered this punch to punch holes of 3/16" in two layers of 24 gauge zinc sheet metal. The only thing I would suggest they add is springs to rebound the handle back open for you.

It's a real solid piece of equipment
5/5

I've had no problems with thinner gauge backs - The plates were cut with a saw. The saw blade is not strong enough to handle larger carpentry panel saws, but you can use it if you're restoring, making, or reusing The back saw does an excellent job of handling a gents saw, dovetail saw, or other back saw used in furniture joinery. With their small points, dies can easily locate the dimple left by the machinist who used a transfer punch to mark the screw location. With a reach of about two inches, most backsaws should be able to use it. Plate stays perfectly flat and does not cause any burrs or scratches. Neiko punches are quality tools, not cheap imports. I recommend just using a little light oil on the die and you should be able to get a lifetime out of this tool.

I thought it would be hard to drill such clean holes, but it went so easily! This device has been on my list for a while, but I couldn't find answer to how thick the metal needed to be and what types of metal it would be able to cut Then I decided to make stamped jewelry with aluminum discs and used the machine for punching holes in them
5/5

) No There is one thing that is astounding about the holes how perfectly clean they As far as I can tell, there are no burrs anywhere. I even cut clean holes in pennies with it! It even cuts cleaner holes than the professional one I had cut in the blank when I got the blanks! I only wish it could punch holes in stainless steel that is thin.

Price is good and the quality is good
5/5

This was a very good price. An excellent tool cast by a taiwanese company, a quality build that you'd expect from a company of that heritage. Punched 16 gauge when I was able to. The metal galv has a weight of 070. This is material for fabrication. My method of gradually punching through the clip involved using the edge of a table and trying to bear into the tool. It took a lot of grunt power to push the tool but it did it with no problem. This is a not very good stop to set the depth, but it will do the job. In general, the case is solid. The female die at the bottom is a bit loose, however. Perhaps you should wrap some teflon tape around the bottom die to strengthen its grip. Honestly, I was not sure whether I should choose the 5 or 4 The price for the product is affordable and shipping is fast, so I give it a 5. If you are a professional and plan to use it everyday for hours on sheet metal, you might opt for the Roper Whitney, but it is almost a copy of the Roper Whitney 5 Jr for less than half the price. The dies seem Using the 1/4" and 1/8" die sets, I made the card. Metal is cut like butter when the smaller size punches are used. After using the tool for more than a few times, I will do a review after more than a few weeks. It was only around 10 days that I had the tool. Since this tool is nearly an exact copy of Roper Whitney, their 50 year old patent has expired, so the negative reviews are likely.
