Astro Pneumatic’s 608ST ONYX Straight Type Punch/Flange Tool comes with an 8mm Punch that is easy to change. This tool can punch holes and crimp panels, and it has a rotating head that makes it easier to use. During use, every time you pull the lever, you get a single punch or one flange crimp with precision. This tool makes a crimped edge on sheet metal so that there are no bumps when you weld. It is light, strong, and easy to make. It also shortens the time it takes to make metal.
Heavy. It’s hard to use because the trigger lever is too far away from the body. Need to hold it at the air inlet to use it, which makes it unbalanced, tiring, and not very accurate. It also makes it difficult to use. Weak flanges were done, but it was very quiet. It took three passes to get even a small amount of depth. This is so close to not being able to fit with the next panel as planned. Terrible if the panels aren’t flat. Holes were drilled. Everything was fine. Make 6″ of flange with three holes, then stop. Anvil jaws would not be able to fit together with the flange. Do not know how to use it.
