Punch Tool

There are different types of punches for you to use:

• Hollow Punches – are made to puncture the surface and are commonly used with sheet metal or leather.
• Solid Punches – rod shaped tools that are meant to be struck by hammers and are usually used to insert pins to make an impression on your project.
• Pin Punches – have a long head with same diameter as the tip. They are used to remove pressure or solid pins.
• Pilot Punches – drives or removes hollow tension pins. They are commonly referred to as roll pin punches because of the slight bump on its head that allows easier access into a rolled pin.
• Taper Punches – loosens and drives pins. It can be used for coordinating holes.
• Centre Punches – marks where a hole might be drilled.
• Prick Punches – does the same thing as a centre punch but is used on softer materials.
• Aligning Punches – coordinates two different holes so that a fastener can be inserted. It is not meant for driving pins, rivets, or bolts.

A punch tool, like a back-out punch and an arch punch, is a hard metal rod with a shaped tip at one end and a blunt end that is used to hole punch tough materials. The blunt end is struck by a hammer and the shaped tip punctures the material.

• These durable tools are made of sturdy, tempered materials that resists fracture.
• These punch tools are great for jobs that require insertion of pins, rivets, or bolts.
• Each punch tool can make a different sized hole and can also make different shapes including hexagonal or round.
