Greenlee 710 Metal Stud Punch 1-11/32 Diameter

Using the Greenlee 710 Metal Stud Punch is a breeze. First, make sure the stud you're working on meets the capacity requirements, which are 2 - 1/2' (63.4 mm) and wider studs, and is 20 - gauge (0.9 mm) steel. Place the punch on the stud where you want to make the hole. Thanks to its automatic hole - centering feature, you don't have to worry too much about alignment. Then, apply pressure to the handle. With just one stroke, it can punch through the steel stud. Since the handle has a contoured design, you'll have good leverage, even in tight spots. After punching, the self - stripping design will prevent the punch from getting stuck. When it comes to maintenance, keep the punch clean and dry. You can use a soft cloth to wipe it down after each use. If you have an early model, consider using the conversion kit to upgrade it to a 20 - gauge maximum capacity for more flexibility. Always follow safety rules and wear appropriate protective gear when using this punch.
