Milwaukee hole punch tool

[Hitch]

Has anyone got any real world experience of the Milwaukee 18v knockout/punch tool?

This tool...

Specs say upto 100mm in 2.5 stainless...pretty impressive for a handheld cordless tool.

100mm holes in 2.5mm?

I punched a bunch of holes in 1 mm stainless with a hand punch set, it took some serious grunt with a long 1/2" drive ratchet handle. First I had to drill a 3/8" hole, then punch a 3/4" hole, to fit the screw on the big punch. Shed loads of work.

Ø100 in 2.5mm stainless sounds very ambitious.
The price of the tool makes me but I'm sure if there is tooling that can actually do what it claims it would be pretty spendy.

Would having the part professionally laser cut be an option for you?

too much money for a one off job.....unless it's serious amount of work in the future, just pay to get it done.....sorry....
