General Tools 1280M Hollow Steel Punch, 1/2 in

Works great and hold edge well for cutting holes in irrigation flat lay hoses. Way cheaper then a hole pusher but just need a small block of wood and a hammer

awesome

Good value for the money for occasional use, will need to sharpen

Worked well was able to stay sharp when cutting against a concrete floor through concrete

I have been using this steel punch combined with a smaller one to make leather washers out of scrap leather to use on my guitars.

I initially submitted a negative review because I received an empty package. Someone had removed the item a placed the empty package into an Amazon envelope and delivered it to me. Clearly either mischief or theft which really triggered my nastiness. Amazon replaced the item the next day. It’s exactly what I wanted and is of the highest caliber. I highly recommend it. I didn’t want to put the supplier in a bad light but I wanted the clown highlighted and replaced with someone who appreciates having a job.

This is a well built tool, but it is trying to be two different sizes. 12mm does not equal 1/2 in. It is about a millimeter short. If 1 mm is not important to you then you'll be very happy with this item. If you need an exact 1/2 inch this will be useless to you. They are trying to play it both ways here. It's a 12 mm punch, period. I'll have to look for an actual 1/2 inch punch if there is even such a thing anymore.

I got this so that I can punch perfect holes in lids for deli cups that I have turned into drinking cups. It works great as long as you hit it with a hammer and make sure it’s on something solid. Otherwise, it won’t work. I like it and it is the perfect size for my boba tea/milkshake straws to go through.
