Review on ⚙️ Fowler 52 500 290 Automatic Diameter Hardened by Mike Rubenstein

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Excellent Quality Auto Punch

Compared to an old General Tools automatic die-cutter that I lost, 9mm compares to .45. The handle is thicker and heavier, making it easier to grip. The tip is much thicker with a tighter tension setting that stays where you twist it. My only concern is that the spring is so much stronger than my old one that I'm tempted to use a hammer on it just because my old carpal tunnel hands are getting weak. If I don't lose it, it shall become an "eternal" instrument. For that price I could have bought two replacement Gens, but they are no longer family owned or made in the USA, and while they aren't made in the US either, too often I'm let down by discounted imports. . highlighted.
