The only time I saw hole punches used, was around 1991, when I helped a 
fellow in HVAC over a summer.  He had a Greenlee set.  He'd drill a 
pilot hole, then use the punch, which cut out a piece of metal in the 
shape of a Pringles potato chip, and bent the cabinets and panels.  I 
thought the idea was nice, but could do as much damage with a sharp 
chisel, and hammer, so wrote off punches at that time.  Seeing that the 
design never changed, I've them little thought over the years.
