General 72 Revolving Punch Pliers 6-hole Steel 8.5 Inch

Product Description

The GENERAL 72 is a revolving punch pliers tool designed for punching clean, precise holes in leather, rubber, gasket material, vinyl, and similar soft sheet goods. The rotating turret head holds six punch sizes — 3/32, 5/64, 7/64, 1/8, 5/32, and 3/16 inches — giving the technician or tradesperson multiple hole diameters in a single hand tool. The all-steel construction keeps the tool rigid under repeated use. Overall length is 8.5 inches, and the tool weighs 0.088 pounds, making it easy to carry in a tool pouch or service bag. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and electricians commonly use revolving punch pliers when fabricating gaskets or fitting grommets on the job site.

This tool is suited for light-duty punching tasks in residential and commercial service work. Typical applications include punching mounting holes in rubber gaskets, cutting grommets in wire management panels, and sizing holes in leather or vinyl strapping. The six-position turret covers the most common hole diameters found in trade service work without requiring a separate punch set or arbor press.

Installation Notes

Align the desired turret punch over the marked location on the workpiece before squeezing the handles. Place a scrap block or appropriate backing surface beneath the material to protect work surfaces and ensure a clean punch-through. Do not use this tool on hard materials such as metal sheet or rigid plastic, as doing so can damage the punch tips or handles. Keep pivot and turret points lightly lubricated for smooth rotation and long service life.
