Harbor Freight Air Punch/Flange Tool

admin

I need to do a little work on car floor pans and a few spot welds on various sheet metal parts.  This was recommended to me.  Has anyone tried it?https://www.harborfreight.com/air-pu...tool-1110.html

Reply:Thanks! I called the local store today and they're holding one for me.  These floor pans are in a Jeep and will be undecoated and sealed over so the seam won't be that visible.
Reply:got one yesterday .works fine but trigger plunger was leaking until i cycled it a dozen or so times.also,the oring on the oil screw was damaged.

Great job on that thread! Yeah, I would NOT want to drill all those holes, the punch works much, MUCH faster.
Reply:yes,easy to use and very smooth on both the punch and flanging action.
Reply:I swapped it out today after checking o-ring on the new tool at the store.  Tried it out at home and it works great.   I add to the Mechanic's Park section as I do the floor pans

Reply:Well I finally got a reply from HF customer service and they said no o-rings are available and return it to the store.  Glad I already did and now the one I have one that works very well.  Still happy.
