Roper Whitney #5 Jr Hand Punch
For the Sheet Metal Contractor, working with Stainless Steel is a lot more challenging that Galvanized. So for jobs in which Stainless sheet is attached to a surface—like column covers and kick plates on doors—using a #5 Jr Hand Punch to punch holes rather than drilling them is much easier and, because the tool has a point, it doesn’t slip.
