Re: Windmill Tower Punch
The ones we have are older, and don't have the hex drive. Won't buy those anymore. The hex drive is the best idea since sliced bread, and 2-layer bathroom tissue.
Call Dan Benjamin for parts. P M me for the phone number. IF YOU TALK TO HIM, AND HE HELPS YOU, THEN BUY FROM HIM. IT CREATES GOOD KARMA.

Ron,
You motivated me to purchase a new hole punch w/hand pump. So far, I'm impressed with the results in punching 3/8" holes in 3/16" steel tower legs. It comes with four punches and dies, 3/8, 1/2, 5/8 and 3/4". Great investment.

Re: Windmill Tower Punch
Wondering how you would use the tool when you are thirty feet up on a tower?

I know about using the red one. I was asking about the hydraulic blue that is the topic of this thread.
