Eastwood 20530 Punch and Flaring Die 1-Inch Sheet Metal Hole Punch

The Eastwood 20530 Punch and Flaring Die is a hardened steel sheet metal tool that punches a clean 1-inch ID hole and produces a smooth, reinforced flare — all without the need for a hydraulic press. The resulting total hole size with flare measures 1.65 inches, adding structural integrity to the finished opening.

Operation is straightforward: simply pre-drill a 1/2-inch pilot hole, position the die, and tighten with a standard 3/4-inch wrench. No special equipment is required, making this die equally effective on the workbench, at the job site, or directly on a vehicle.
