Long-Reach Bench-Mount Lever-Operated Hole Punches

A throat depth more than double those of standard bench-mount lever-operated punches allows this tool to reach further past the edge of material. It is often used to make holes in signs for fasteners. The included punch and die are replaceable.

Note: As your punch size increases, the thickness of steel this tool can cut decreases.
