(More customer reviews)This hole puncher works like a dream. No burs, very quick and easy to use. We can run off a hole strip of holes in a couple of minutes. Fit and finish are better than expected for a tool this cheap. Its as nice as anything in our shop. I've been punching about 40 holes per run on on our small production sheet metal parts. On 20 gauge cold rolled steel it just "ka chunks" its little heart out. I have not tried 18 gauge yet but doubt it will be an issue. Now the flanger is kind of disappointing but I only poopped a few off to see how it worked. You will need to overlap a bit and it will leave a lot of marks on the steel. Since it only flanges like a .75" wide area and you need to overlap you will not want to use this for very long strips. The depth of the offset is kind of shallow. I don't think that it dropped the step even as far as the thickness of the 20 gauge (.044). So, highly recommended for hole punching, not recommended for flanging. Note: it does say to use at 90-130 psi...I tested the flanging at 110. Maybe it would work better at 130 psi....
