Malco NSP1 Slate Punch For Nail Holes

This efficient hand punch produces a clean, recessed nail hole in 4 & 8 mm natural roofing slate. A big 2-1/2-inch (63 mm) throat depth allows convenient placement of the punch tip on the flat, unfinished side of the slate to create a desirable nail hole recess on the natural finished side as it punches through. The addition of Malco Redline Handles ensures easy, one-hand operation of the Slate Punch, including an ambidextrous thumb operated handle latch, so that there is always a free hand to control the work-piece. Ergonomic Redline handle contours, a non-slip handle insert and optimal gripping range, provide a fit and feel for the human hand that enhances the user's natural power stroke as well as the powerful 7:1 leverage of compound head-to-handle linkage. Hardened steel construction and rust-resistant nickel plate and black oxide finishes promote long service life for this professional quality tool. The long lasting tool steel punch component is also replaceable.
