Customer Reviews for CH-60 Hydraulic Hole Punching 31T Tool Puncher

If you are looking for a bench punch that will tackle most tasks on medium mild steel and non ferrous material then you will not be disappointed with this purchase. I would also recommend that you purchase the CP-180 hand pump if you don't have a power pack or hand pump to fit this unit. Even though it is a bit slow in punching a hole with the CP-180 hand pump it is more than up to the task at hand. I hope this helps

Used this CH-60 punch to cut 3/4" holes in guard rail post with 2510A Air/Hydraulic pump. It does a good job snapping holes in 3/16" steel with a nice loud ring. Neighbors a half mile away asked what that popping noise was. With that said...If you use this unmounted (as holding it on its side punching holes in vertical metal) be prepared to use your muscles. At 38.7 pounds it is a substantial weight to hold in position repeatedly. If it were lighter, It would not work have strength to push a steel punch through another piece of steel. Will have a few hundred plugs before finishing. I can use 3/8" punch to turn them into heavy washers. I'm happy with purchase.

I punched 1 1/2” hole thru 3/8” a36 flat bar using a hand pump and it worked great! Time will tell but for $119 can’t pass it up!

This is a hole I punched out the steel is just shy of 5/8 “ by about 17 thousand s .hole is about 11/16 no one seems to know the capacity of this it went through it pretty decent but I would say it seems to be near the upper end . The dies for this is not the greatest the tolerances could be much closer and one or two other small things that’s why I gave it a three star. But still that’s pretty impressive ,I have 2 ch70 and a ch 60 in use.

Early on, I would recommend this device -- no problems at all. I would recommend that a PUMP such as the 250 dollar range air assisted 10,000 PSI be used as a minimum. The electric pumps are likely much faster, but are usually far more expensive at 350 to 500+ dollars.

Where can I purchase 3/8" BSPT fitting (adapters) for the recommended 3/8" NPT 3/8" 10,000 PSI High Pressure Hydraulic Quick Coupler Set Replaces Ener

Flimsy Box messed up missing dies, casting not the best, it works with air pump but slow.

Works great! Heavy little son of a gun.

Works great.
