them at a good electrical supply stockhouse (where house
wiring supplies are sold), as opposed to an electronic
parts store.
I have several punches, including a 1-3/4" punch that I
think I paid $30 for. I use it for Hubbell AC
receptacles in my custom rack panels.
The expensive punches are non-round punches, like D-sub
punches for serial/parallel jacks on PCs. These run at
least $125.
