Knockout Punch And Die

Knockout Punch and Die are tools used in the electrical and construction industries. They are part of the supply class Hand Tools, Edged, Nonpowered, which falls under the supply group Hand Tools.

A knockout punch is a tool used to create holes in sheet metal, electrical boxes, and other materials. It is typically used to create holes for conduit fittings or cable entry points. The punch itself is a cylindrical tool with a sharp cutting edge, and it is driven through the material using a manual or hydraulic punch driver.

The die, on the other hand, is a counterpart to the knockout punch. It is a flat, solid piece of metal with a hole in the center that matches the size of the desired hole. The die is placed on the opposite side of the material being punched, and it helps support the material and guide the punch as it cuts through.

Together, the knockout punch and die form a set that allows for precise and clean hole punching in various materials. They are commonly used in electrical installations, HVAC systems, and other applications where conduit or cable routing is required.
