Product Identity
General Tools 1280M is a hand-held hollow punch made from forged steel with a half-inch tip designed to cut clean holes in soft sheet materials. The side clearance hole prevents cut slugs from jamming inside the barrel during repeated use.
Suitability
The tool suits leatherworkers, gasket fabricators and maintenance technicians who need precise circles in rubber, canvas, cardboard, plastic or soft metals such as brass, copper and aluminium. It is not intended for hardened steel, thick plate or high-volume production punching.
Decisive Specification
The half-inch tip diameter determines the exact hole size this punch produces, so verify that dimension matches the gasket, strap or fastener pattern you are creating before purchase.

Questions about this item
Does the 1280M punch generate noticeable heat or noise during extended use?
As a manual hand tool, the 1280M produces no operational noise or heat; effort depends entirely on the user's striking force.
What striking tool is required to operate the 1280M punch effectively?
A hammer or mallet is needed to drive the forged steel body through leather, rubber, canvas, or soft sheet metals.
Will the 1/2 inch tip on the 1280M align with dies or components from older punch sets?
The 1/2 inch tip size is a standard dimension, so it generally matches existing dies or accessories using that same measurement.
