I was an electrician for 27 years. Greenlee makes good punches but
even those can be broken and have the threads stripped. For what I
need at this momoent, the cheap ones will punch the two or three holes
a year I need. If I need more, I'll invest in a new Greenlee
hydraulic SlugSplitter set. I've always regretted selling mine after
I quit the business.

It happens that I am also active at the diyaudio
forum. I had bad experience
with those punchs and I started a thread there,

I can't vouch for them, I just noted the coupon and remembered the
tiie-in. I've got a set of Greenlees that's perhaps 40 years old and
works just fine.
Maybe these'd be okay with aluminum or very mild steel. Sigh.
Probably the same Chinese boron steel that makes bolts snap off if
you look at 'em sideways.
