Discover the Greenlee 28159 Slug - Splitter SC Die. This die is designed for single conduit size punching. The hole size corresponds to the outside diameter of US conduit sizes. For instance, a 1/2' conduit size punch creates a 7/8' hole. It pairs with the 28158 punch and different draw studs like 31872 for certain hydraulic drivers (7804, 7904), 29452 for other hydraulic drivers (7646, 7625), and 12099 for the ratchet driver (1904). This heavy - duty punch can easily punch through 10 gauge (3.5 mm) stainless steel and mild steel, thanks to its unique slug splitting design and tool steel construction. It self - centers on the pilot hole, eliminating the need for crosshairs or die alignment marks. The unique punch profile splits slugs for easy removal. With heavy - duty dies and stainless steel draw studs, it offers long - lasting performance. It also has excellent abrasion resistance for punching fiberglass and plastic. It can be operated with a battery, hydraulic, or high - leverage ratchet driver. Patent Pending.
Using the Greenlee 28159 is straightforward. First, select the appropriate draw stud according to your driver type. Make sure to match the conduit size you need as the hole size is based on the outside diameter of US conduit sizes. Place the punch on the pilot hole, and it will self - center, so you don't have to draw crosshairs or line up marks. Then, use your battery, hydraulic, or high - leverage ratchet driver to start punching. When punching, it can handle 10 gauge (3.5 mm) stainless steel and mild steel well. The unique design will split the slugs for easy removal. As for maintenance, after each use, clean the punch and die to remove any debris. Check the draw studs for any signs of wear or damage. Store the tool in a dry place to prevent rust. Also, note that it is only designed to be used with battery, hydraulic, or high - leverage ratchet drivers, so avoid using other types of drivers.
