Greenlee KC22-1 Knockout Center Punch

Product Description

The GREENLEE KC22-1 is a knockout center punch designed for use in electrical trade applications. It provides a precise starting point for knockout punch operations on electrical enclosures, panels, and conduit boxes. Electricians and electrical contractors use this tool when preparing sheet metal surfaces for conduit entry fittings. The compact size and defined geometry allow accurate punch placement before driving a knockout set, reducing the risk of the punch walking on smooth metal surfaces during initial strikes.

The KC22-1 is suited for use in residential and commercial electrical work where knockout punches are required. Typical applications include service panel installations, junction box preparation, and conduit stub-up layouts. It is used by licensed electricians and apprentices working on metallic enclosures and electrical distribution equipment.

Key Features

• Compact form factor sized at 2.4 x 2.4 x 1.6 inches for easy handling in tight work areas
• Lightweight at 0.31 pounds for reduced hand fatigue during repetitive use
• Designed to accurately locate the center point for knockout punch operations
• Compatible with standard knockout punch driver workflows on sheet metal enclosures

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style accessory for use with standard knockout punch sets in electrical enclosure and panel fabrication applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed electrician following applicable NEC guidelines. Ensure power is de-energized and the enclosure is de-energized before beginning any knockout work on live panels. Use appropriate personal protective equipment and a ball-peen or cross-peen hammer of suitable weight when driving the center punch. Inspect the punch tip for wear before use to ensure accurate center placement.
