When choosing, some of the most important criteria must be taken into account, among which are power and shock indicators. For drilling deep holes with a large diameter, preference should be given to more powerful models, and the impact force should be directly proportional to the hardness of the processed materials. At the same time, if you plan to work with different materials, the best option would be to purchase a universal tool with replaceable cartridges.

Table: punch performance comparison

Equally important is the weight and ergonomics of the tool, which ensures ease and convenience of work. You also need to remember that battery devices are mobile and noticeably more convenient than a network tool, but such punchers are more expensive and have some limitations in terms of power.

Even a very high cost does not always guarantee the excellent quality of a home punch, so for home use it is advisable to purchase only well-proven and reliable, easy-to-maintain models produced by trusted domestic or foreign manufacturers.
