12. Knockout Punches: Punch Through Metal Like a Pro

Need a clean hole in a junction box or control panel? Knockout punches are your best friend. Instead of struggling with drills or hole saws, you just drill a pilot hole, insert the punch, and apply pressure --- boom, a perfect hole every time.

Manual punches are great for occasional use, but if you're working on larger projects, a hydraulic knockout punch makes the job even faster and easier. Whether you're running conduit or adding new connections, this tool ensures precision without the hassle.
