Effortless Flange Creating 🔧 with Astro 605ST Straight Flange Tool Review

I had to punch approximately 63,944,593,289 holes in my Challenger's replacement roof panel to electric weld it. Maybe I wouldn't have survived without this tool. Clean, accurate holes with virtually no plate distortion. Well, somehow not on purpose. I accidentally put it in the wrong side once and can confirm it makes a damn fine flange too. Oops. I love it so much I may take it on a romantic trip once this restoration project is complete.

First of all the shipping from Revain was amazing. But when I received my instrument, the box was open. I smeared it and it didn't work. Got it and it finally worked. I then tried punching through 18 gauge sheet metal and it took over 20 pulls to punch the hole. Not to mention making a flange. I have a supercharger from the Quincey store so no shortage of air lol. Didn't like it at all as I was waiting for the tool to replace the panel in the project. I need to find a better tool.

Bought to replace body panels on a project machine. Used it on a panel and it fit and punched holes great. At first I was impressed by the device. It's powerful and runs very smoothly. I figured I would get many years of useful use from the tool, which I felt justified its higher cost (as opposed to the similar Harbor Freight tool that sells for $30 less). However, after using the flange tool on ONE bottom quarter of the panel, I set it aside until I got around the machine to the second panel…
