Quality product: hand tool

The quality was as expected. I recommend this article. ideal for making gaskets or stamping leather. I would buy again after wearing out.

Exactly as advertised

For the money this is a great tool. I don't need to use it often, but when restoring old cars and building street lamps, it's essential for making gaskets.

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Some issues

Revainrating 3 out of 5

It's hit or miss.

Quality control should be absent. Some punches are well sanded, smooth and sharp, others are dull and uneven, and one was even chipped, unusable. This set should be back.

Pros
  • Lots of positive emotions
Cons
  • Weak

Shop Workhorse - Punch

I've had the same one for over 20 years, it's drilled at least 25,000+ holes. The central punch just got lost and he started making holes. I have this new one and I couldn't be happier with it. Well made, durable, works great. I hope this one lasts as long as the last one, coming to think of it, should I be retired by then.

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • Crumpled

Breaks 5 stars Amazon zero shipping!

Typical normal material. Not the best, but way better than the cheap stuff. I plan to grind a little at the mill. The whetstone doesn't help if you just have time. One star because of stupid Amazon shipping. Came in a mailer, since opening the box everything rattles. The 10 second stretch film guarantees no damage. Amazons are always complaining, but they just don't care! I will come back and order again.

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Slightly torn

It does the job!

With this set I keep thinking about the price; I've been using the kit at work for a long time to drill lots of bolt/bolt holes in LARGE (usually a few feet in diameter) gaskets made of really strong materials (various pressed fiber materials, sometimes aramid, from 3/16" to about 1/4 thick. 4". After a while the die head grew so much that I had to sand the sides to keep the pieces from flying off. I was about to give this review 4 stars but then I remembered the price; looking back I can't…

Pros
  • Pleasant to use
Cons
  • Not bad, but...
