A portable hydraulic punch is a machine designed to make holes quickly and easily through steel, aluminum, and other metals. They are designed for applications typically done with hand held twist drills or mag drills. Not only are they portable but they provide extra versatility with a unique throat design and the ability to adapt to several punch and die styles. Punching holes instead of hand drilling saves time, faster cycle times, ease of handling and accuracy, less clean up (gives you a clean slug that is easy to handle) and the punches last longer.
