I needed a holepunch that would punch through cans. Originally I ordered a punch that advertised the ability to punch through thin metal. Perhaps they were talking about foil. The pink handles should have been a clue, I guess. It did not punch through cans. It was no Bueno.Went on another search and found these NEIKO punches. The pictures showed men punching through car metals. Excellent. I ordered.This punch is WONDERFUL. It punches through cans like butter, perfect clean holes, no sharp edges, and has sizes that fit my grommets. The handles are sized for a man's hand, but I can still use it with my small arthritic hands. I highly recommend.

My most used tool. Works great, makes metalworking layout a breeze. How did I go so many years without this.

The tool works fine for the 1st cut, but the spring loaded centering point hangs up and doesn't allow the plug to extract. Slows the process down.

Excellent tool, total quality, love the case it comes with to keep things organized. Bought it to mainly to use the 1/4 and 9/32 punches in 20 gauge steel. This purchase was to replace the DENT FIX punch I’ve been using in Auto Body Work which eventually broke that is set at 1/4 only and costs twice the price. Highly recommend.

I've been using this tool for about four months. It is a solid piece of work. You are not going to knock any holes in anything more than 20 gauge sheet metal with any kind of comfort, quickness or ease. I use this tool to punch holes in 28 gauge sheet metal dog tags for the local sports team I support. It works well for that.PROs- Love the available size hole punch sets, love the quick change between sizes. I use two sizes every time and the change is quick and easy. The female die, male die, and handle attachments are hand (finger) adjustable. Really like this tool for what I bought it for- punching holes in thin gauge sheet metal. Does a great job in a variety of sizes. price is great. Tools works well. Die change is very easy. The case is functional and supports changing dies and sizes. Highly recommend. Index points on dies help ensure holes go where you want them. You can adjust the female die to create knock-outs, hanging chads, and clean holes. The mechanical advantage of the tool makes punching holes in thin gauge metal easy. Punching holes with one hand is easy. that's good because keeping things on target and aligned is tricky; not difficult, just tricky and requires practice. It still takes two hands to open the tool and clear punched metal. The main point here is the tool's design facilitates freeing your project as well as it does punching the hole.CONs- very worthless, not sure why it's included, afterthought of a screw driver. Really?????? I mean, why bother if the worthless piece of tinfoil is all you can do? You don't need this thing. It really doesn't detract from the function of the tool. However, it is listed as a selling component and isn't worth shipping costs to include. I think they had to go out of their way to find a metal as soft and pliable as the type they are using. Don't breath too hard or you'll bend it. I think holding it in your hand too long softens it up. Very minor point but, disappointing none the less.

This works good 99% of the time. Once and a while it doesn't reset when I lift off. The impact is strong. I've used it about 500 times so far, with the occasional issue above. It is easy on the palm of your hand. The spring and tip are replaceable. Where you would get a replacement pin is unknown. I would buy it again.
