How many holes with a punch?
As
@pc1966 said, hundreds if you treat them right!
Never at the bottom of my toolbox, I have them in a dedicated box, ready for use, and look forward to using them!
A very nice young spark came to fit a new DB at the charity place I do work for. I had run all the cables and installed the sockets and lighting etc and he came to put in a new, bigger DB. He couldn't get his drill and hole saw anywhere near so I lent him my 20mm punch and he had never seen one before. Punched 2 holes in DB and 2 more in trunking. He emailed me later that day to say he had ordered 4! I guess it's just horses for courses. We all have our favourites, and maybe it just takes a new approach to find something else?
I just like tools that do the job with less noise and disruption...but I'm old, so sometimes folk look at me and ask why I use such and such a tool. I reply it's because I research, research, research...I have the time, I am retired, I don't need to save 5 minutes per point...but I get the satisfaction of doing each point to the best of my ability. Be open to different ideas, that's all I do.
The satisfaction I got using my impact driver to drive 200mm coachbolts into timber decking posts was immense!
