Love them to death, and they don't leave a whole mess of shavings like a hole saw. Ratchet cutter is just as good for smaller holes depending on what kind of box you're cutting into.

There's a real set.

 

[220/221]

I use it for 2" and above. Anything under I holesaw.

Mine is old and leaks oil so it's not exactly a pleasure to use.

Never seen one, how's it work?

It's simply a mechanical hydraulic pump used to pull punches. The hose and KO punches are not pictured.


Well NOW they are.

Mine doesn't look QUITE that clean.

Never seen a hydraulic pump???

Wow, you ever actually use or do you just have the helper polish it when he gets done cleaning the van?

Either that, or he sends it back to Greenlee after each use for refurbishing.:wink:

Ahhh....that's probably it. I've seen some good helpers but not that good. I'm curious to see his power tools now.

No - I have not never seen a hydraulic pump.

Think I got it - drill hole, insert shaft through hole, connect cutter, pump to pull cutter through material, making larger hole?

Pretty much it. KO sets come in three parts: a cutter, a die and a draw bolt. The cutter and die work like a pair of scissors on paper, basically shearing the metal. The draw bolt is used to bring the two other parts together.

With a hydro set, the drawbolt is replaced by a piston.

With a C-punch, there's no need to predrill any holes. Real time-saver for punching out panels in commercial apps.

..... I'm curious to see his power tools now.

Put your shades on! :grin:

I personally hate this stupid thing. All it does is save me lots of time and make really clean holes, damn it man. :grin::grin:

OK, I'll be more than happy to take it off your hands......

Or better yet a welder's hood. Better safe than sorry.

We don't think so. :smile:

Did you say unibit? :smile:

 

[daleuger]

Did you say unibit? :smile:

Not so much....I use a hole hawg on all my boxes. I don't know what you're on, but let me know so I can steer clear.

Whatever dude!

And he gets hate mail from his UPS guy.

Let's not leave out the fun step of punching out the 1/2" pilot hole with the thinner drawstud first, and then making the final hole with the main drawstud.

Unless, of course, you use a holesaw to make the larger pilot hole in one feww swoop. But then, that would be gauche, no?
