(No substitutions)The No. 7A and No. 8 are similar except for punching capacity. They are highly portable and of a size that will fit any tool chest or truck locker. The leverage design of these tools assures easy linear operation. Unlike other similar tools, these punches will punch and strip inside a 90° arc movement of the lever. And, the upper handle will not disengage when moved to either extreme.The No. 10 and No. 12 use rotary ball bearing operation to provide punching capacity in the medium duty range, beyond the capacity of linear operation punches. It extends the capacity offered in the Roller Bearing punches 50% while maintaining an equally portable size and weight. The two punches are similar, except for the deep throat dimensions of the No. 12 to punch up to 2 1/4" from the edge and accommodate angles, channels, and flanged materials.Options for the No. 7A and No. 8 include a bench mounting base, with a 3"-3¾" x 5" tapped base table; and a factory reversal of the upper handle to provide front pull-down operation when the tool's intended use is as a bench mounted unit.Options for the No. 10 and No. 12 include a ratchet handle to permit operation in close quarters and a base attachment for bench mounting.* Refer to tonnage chart below to determine if the rated capacity of this tool will accommodate the type and thickness of metal and the size and shape hole that you will be punching. Do not, under any condition, exceed the rated capacity of this tool.
