Troubleshooting
Punch is difficult to drive through the material.
Ensure the pilot hole is perfectly centered and the draw stud is properly lubricated; check that you are not exceeding the recommended material thickness.
The resulting hole has jagged edges.
Check the alignment of the punch and die; if the punch has become dull after heavy use, it may need to be inspected for wear.
Ratchet mechanism feels stiff.
Clean any metal filings from the ratchet teeth and apply a small amount of grease to ensure smooth movement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure optimal performance and tool lifespan, follow these setup and maintenance guidelines:
- Preparation: Always drill an appropriately sized pilot hole for the draw stud before attempting to punch.
- Lubrication: Apply a small amount of machine oil to the threads of the draw stud and the cutting surfaces of the die before use to reduce friction and extend the life of the tool.
- Compatibility: This tool is designed for mild steel, aluminum, fiberglass, and plastic. Do not attempt to use it on hardened stainless steel or metals exceeding the recommended thickness, as this can damage the dies.
- Cleaning: After each use, wipe down the punches and dies with a clean cloth to remove metal shavings or debris.
- Storage: Always store the components in the provided molded slots within the carrying case to prevent rust and accidental damage.
