I have a set of Greenlee hole punches which I have used for many years. They do
an excellent job of cutting large holes in aluminum. Even punched a 2 inch
meter hole in a panel.Needed a large wrench and lots of torque to accomplish
it. :-)
Invaluable tools for the builders.

The only time I saw hole punches used, was around 1991, when I helped a
fellow in HVAC over a summer. He had a Greenlee set. He'd drill a
pilot hole, then use the punch, which cut out a piece of metal in the
shape of a Pringles potato chip, and bent the cabinets and panels. I
thought the idea was nice, but could do as much damage with a sharp
chisel, and hammer, so wrote off punches at that time. Seeing that the
design never changed, I've them little thought over the years.
