Long alignment punch for panel work

This 18 in chrome vanadium steel punch with black oxide finish is designed to align panels and punch holes in hard-to-reach areas. It features a 1/2 in tip and 7/8 in hex body for controlled striking. A standard tethering accessory is included for tool retention. The tool is built for durability and corrosion resistance in garage or workshop environments.

Suited for alignment and reach.

Mechanics and fabricators who need extended reach to align bolt holes or panels will find the length and tip size appropriate. The tether point adds safety when working at height or in deep cavities. Buyers who need a smaller tip diameter, a shorter overall length, or a different punch profile such as a centre or pin punch should look at other options.

1/2 in tip diameter determines fit

The half-inch tip is the critical dimension that must match the hole size being aligned or punched. If the target holes are larger or smaller, this tool will not engage correctly. Verify the required tip size against the workpiece before purchase.

Questions about this item

How can I verify the punch is working correctly after first use?

Check that the 1/2 in tip drives cleanly through the material and that the 7/8 in hex shank stays firmly seated in the wrench without slipping.

What comes with the punch and what must I supply separately?

The box contains the 18 in chrome vanadium alignment punch with black oxide finish and standard tethering accessory; you provide the striking hammer and any personal protective equipment.

Which tip size and length combination should I select for deep panel alignment?

Choose the 1/2 in tip on the 18 in shaft when you need reach into tight cavities and a larger hole diameter for bolt clearance.
