Review on πŸ”§ Hollow Steel General Tools 1280M by Kyle Larjin

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Heavy duty metal punch, sharp edge

Purchased for punching holes in plastic lids of standard and wide mouth jars. It makes the right size holes to mount silicone gaskets to insert three-piece air valves for fermentation projects like kombucha and raw sauerkraut. It's much cheaper to buy lids, gaskets, and valves to assemble than to buy ready-made fermentation lid kits. I didn't want to buy an electric drill or a special bit. This tool cuts through tough plastic can ends with one or more hammer blows. I'm a bit concerned that the sharp edge of the tool might dull after not making too many holes. I'll update the info on how often it's used when it gets boring. I use it on sturdy plastic lids about 1/16 inch thick, like a large jar of peanut butter.
