Roper Whitney #5 Jr Hand Punch

For the Sheet Metal Contractor, working with stainless steel is a lot more challenging than galvanized. So, for jobs in which stainless sheet is attached to a surface—like column covers and kick plates on doors—using a #5 Jr Hand Punch to punch holes rather than drilling them is much easier. Since the tool has a point, it doesn’t slip, making it a more efficient choice.

Since its introduction some 75 years ago, Conklin has been selling the #5 Jr Whitney Hand Punch. While sales have declined over the years due to online transactions, it’s still a tool we stock and offer at the most competitive pricing. The Whitney #5 Jr is a time-saving alternative to drilling when it comes to 16 gauge and lighter sheet metal. With a throat depth of 1-3/4" and the capacity to punch a 1/4" round hole through 16 gauge, this tool is a reliable solution.

Conklin stocks the Whitney #5 Jr in a kit that includes one set each of type O (round) punch and die in sizes: 3/32", 1/8", 5/32", 3/16", 7/32", 1/4", and 9/32".
