Get your hands on the Greenlee 28157 Slug - Splitter SC Die, specifically crafted for 3/4 conduit size. This die offers outstanding performance and durability. The hole size of this die corresponds to the outside diameter of US conduit sizes. For example, a 1/2' conduit size punch creates a 7/8' hole. It pairs perfectly with the 28156 punch and comes with multiple corresponding draw studs for different drivers. The Slug - Splitter heavy - duty punches are engineered to punch through 10 gauge (3.5 mm) stainless steel with ease. Its unique slug splitting design and tool steel construction make it a breeze to punch through 10 gauge mild steel and stainless steel. The self - centering feature allows the punch to align itself on the pilot hole, eliminating the need to draw crosshairs or line up die alignment marks. The unique punch profile also splits slugs for effortless removal. With heavy - duty dies and stainless steel draw studs, it promises a longer service life. It has excellent abrasion resistance, making it great for punching fiberglass and plastic. It can be operated with battery, hydraulic, or high - leverage ratchet drivers only. And it's patent - pending!
Using the Greenlee 28157 Slug - Splitter Die is easy. First, select the appropriate draw stud based on your driver type. For hydraulic drivers like 7804, 7904, use the 31872 draw stud; for 7646, 7625, use 29452; and for the ratchet driver 1904, use 12099. Then, place the die on the material where you want to punch a hole. Make sure the self - centering feature aligns it properly on the pilot hole. You don't need to mark crosshairs or worry about alignment marks. When using a battery, hydraulic, or high - leverage ratchet driver, activate it to punch through the material. The die is designed to split the slug for easy removal. As for maintenance, after each use, clean the die and draw studs to remove any debris. Store them in a dry place to prevent rusting. Avoid using the die on materials that are thicker than 10 gauge (3.5 mm) stainless steel as it may damage the tool. Also, always use the recommended drivers for safe and efficient operation.
