Eclipse 902-488 Knockout Punch/Die Kit 1-1/4 in. Conduit

Knockout Punch and Die Kit for 1-1/4 in. Conduit

This Eclipse 902-488 kit provides the punch and die needed to create clean holes in mild steel for 1-1/4 inch conduit installations. It is designed for electricians and maintenance technicians who require precise knockout dimensions on the job site. The set produces a nominal hole size of 1.701 inches, matching standard conduit requirements. Slugs fall free during operation to keep the work area clear.

Compatibility Check Before Ordering

Verify that your existing drive tool accepts a 1/2 inch ratchet and a 1 inch socket, as these are required to operate the kit. Confirm the workpiece material is mild steel no thicker than 10 gauge, which is the maximum rated capacity. Ensure the target conduit size is exactly 1-1/4 inches, since the die is sized for that specific trade diameter. The kit contains no pilot pins, so alignment must be managed manually.

Build Quality and Daily Use

The punch and die are manufactured as a matched replacement set for repeated hole-punching tasks. Slugs fall free automatically, reducing downtime spent clearing debris between holes. Manual operation with a ratchet and socket gives the user direct control over force and speed without hydraulic equipment. The kit focuses on a single conduit size, so workshops handling multiple diameters will need additional sets.
