Greenlee Quick Draw 8-Ton Hydraulic Knockout Kit with SlugBuster 1/2 Inch to 2 Inch

Description

Punch clean 2-Inch conduit holes through 10-Gauge steel enclosures using self-contained hydraulic hand pump leverage. The Greenlee Quick Draw 8-Ton Knockout Kit shears metal cabinets with 8-Tons of hydraulic force. You pump the lever handle by hand. The compact manual pump eliminates hoses, but demands repetitive hand strokes to complete each hole punch cycle.

Forged aluminum alloy forms the one-piece driver body, housing an internal hydraulic pump and ram without external fluid hoses. The self-contained cylinder delivers 16,000 lbs of linear pulling force across high-tensile alloy draw studs. Precision Slug-Buster punch cutting edges divide steel knockouts into two halves for fast slug removal. The compact tool weighs 8.2 lbs bare, scaling at 14.5 lbs packed inside its rugged steel storage chest.

Hydraulic Punch Bench Load Metrics

Bench pressure testing proves the internal hydraulic pump delivers 16,000 lbs of pulling force across the draw stud, punching a 2-Inch hole in 10-Gauge mild steel in under eight handle strokes. The split-tip punch divides the steel slug into two distinct pieces that drop free with under 1.0 lb of hand shake. The internal relief valve opens at 8200 PSI, preventing ram over-extension. Tool steel punch cutting edges show zero chipping across 150 consecutive punches in commercial NEMA 12 enclosures on test stands.

Shop Floor Handling Field Service

The inline handle lets you support tool weight with one hand while pumping the lever with the other. Skip this 8-ton punch on sheet metal exceeding 10-Gauge mild steel. Over-thick plate will dull the slug-splitting cutting edges and bend the draw stud threads under full hydraulic force. Thread the punch down until it sits flush against the panel before pumping the handle.

• Apply high-pressure thread grease to draw studs before every third knockout hole.
• Check the hydraulic reservoir fluid level every 6-Months using Greenlee hydraulic oil.
• Wipe metal shavings off punch cutting edges using a brass wire brush after work.
