The arch-style head delivers a sharp, defined cut with a single mallet strike. At 5-1\/2 inches overall length, the punch provides solid grip and control during use. The cutting diameter is 1-1\/4 inches, making it well suited for grommets, lacing holes, and gasket work where a consistent hole size is required. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and maintenance professionals keep arch punches in their toolkit for field gasket fabrication and soft-material work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis punch is used in applications requiring clean, round cutouts in non-metallic materials such as rubber sheet gaskets, cork, leather belting, and vinyl. It is a common hand tool on job sites where techs need to fabricate custom gaskets or prepare soft materials for installation. The 1-1\/4 inch punch size is a frequently used diameter for standard pipe flange gasket work and similar trade applications. Suitable for both shop bench use and field service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1-1\/4 inch cutting diameter for consistent, repeatable hole sizes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e5-1\/2 inches overall length for confident hand grip and mallet striking\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSteel construction for durability through repeated strikes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eArch punch design cuts cleanly in leather, rubber, gasket sheet, felt, and cork\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSingle-piece tool — no assembly required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with a mallet or hammer as a general-purpose arch punch for cutting 1-1\/4 inch holes in soft, non-metallic materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsed by plumbers, HVAC technicians, and general tradespeople for gasket fabrication and soft-material hole punching.
