Drive punch with replaceable tips?

[KMM696]

Does anyone make a drive punch with replaceable tips? I usually destroy the 1/16" and 1/8" punches pretty quickly, so I'd like to be able to cut off another piece of drill rod instead of tossing the (only) punch in the size I need.

Wish I lived closer to Sears, so I could abuse their lifetime warranty more!

You will get what you pay for ........... I buy imports for destructive work, and keep a set of top quality made in the USA ones for non destructive jobs.

If you shorten the small sizes to minimum usable length for the job you are doing, they will last much longer.

Nice site - is there anything you can't buy from McMaster?!?!

Good point on shortening - I should have one short punch in those small sizes, just to start pins moving.

Thanks!

If they don't have it, you don't need it.
