About Capri Tools CP21050 21050 Metal Hole Punch Set With Puncher 16 Piece
Overall Feedback:
90% positive
87% liked the high sheet capacity
I bought the product to cut holes in sheet metal and was initially afraid it would be difficult due to most reviews being from men. However, it turned out to be surprisingly easy for me. The product handles sheet metal well and is easy to use.
95% praised the accurate punching, yet 5% found it misaligned
I can effortlessly go through 18ga aluminum with the hole punch and make accurate and clean 1/8" dia. punches through 1/16" thick aluminum with some effort.
I tried to punch the first hole in the sheet metal tool that came with the Punch Set, but the hole punch dulled the punch point instantly.
When punching through 18 gauge black steel, I found the tool to work well. However, it dims the steel when punching through 16 gauge no matter how hard I squeeze.
85% praised the comfortable handle, but 15% found it stiff
Despite my good-sized hands, it is difficult for me to get a good grip and ensure the punch is in the right place.
92% found it easy to use
I found that making a small indentation in the target metal and using an awl or nail set and hammer helps to position the hole punch properly and feel the pin in the center of the punch.
93% appreciated the sturdy build
The hole punch comes in a hard-shell case with 7 pair of dies and a thumbscrew tool. It is extremely heavy duty.
This hole punch material is more durable and will surely stays sharp for a longer time.
