Milwaukee Tool 49-16-2706 Round Knockout Punch 7/8 Inch

Product Description

The MILWAUKEE TOOL 49-16-2706 is a complete round knockout punch unit designed for manual operation in electrical and conduit work. It produces clean, round knockout holes measuring 7/8 inch (22.23 mm) in diameter with a punch hole length of 2.95 inches (74.93 mm). Constructed from steel, this unit is built for repeated use in sheet metal and electrical enclosure applications. It is installed by electricians and electrical contractors who need precise, burr-free conduit entry points in panels, junction boxes, and enclosures. The unit weighs 0.07 pounds, making it a lightweight addition to a punch set.

This knockout punch unit is suited for residential and commercial electrical work where conduit fittings require clean entry holes in metal enclosures. It is rated for a maximum capacity of 16-gauge (1.65 mm) mild steel, making it appropriate for standard electrical panel and enclosure materials. The manual operating method requires a draw stud and knockout driver, which are typically part of a compatible knockout punch set. This punch is sold as a single complete unit and is commonly used as a replacement for worn or damaged punch components in an existing set.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed electrician following NEC guidelines for conduit entry into electrical enclosures. De-energize and lock out all equipment before cutting into any electrical panel or enclosure. Align the punch and die squarely on the workpiece to prevent binding or damage to the punch unit. Do not exceed the rated 16-gauge mild steel capacity, as overloading can damage the punch or draw stud.
