greenlee 13/16 chassis punch pass around

[Hondor06]

i know there was one of these many moons ago, but is anyone interested in passing around a greenlee 13/16" punch? I would purchase it and "rent" it out to make it more affordable for those of us on a budget.

cheers,
brian

Q.Max Punches are a good budget option

21mm would work too

You might be able to find these cheaper if you're able to find an online UK store that ships to the USA.

Do you know if these will be enough to cut a keg or are they only ample enough for thinner gauge stainless? Thanks for the heads up on these.

Cheers,
Brian

The literature seems to show up to 14ga mild and stainless. 18ga keg walls should be OK.

Did you ever purchase the Greenlee punch?

Used these on a Blichmann (and it was unbelievably thick!) and they worked like a charm!! Fraction of the price of a Green Lee and worked perfect. Can find them on eBay.

How was the shipping? Did it take long?

 

[Joon1975]

I have about four holes to cut in my keg

Less than 2 weeks. If you have time, totally worth it.

 

[Joon1975]

I pulled the trigger! I’ll keep you posted.

 

[Hondor06]

I haven't pulled the trigger but that q-max 13/16 looks like the way to go.

 

[Joon1975]

Worked like a charm. So far made four holes on my sanke kegs and one on my bayou classic. Highly recommended!!! Thanks, Nichols2127!

You bet man! Glad it worked!! I’ve been very happy with them and for the price, you can’t beat it!
