How old do you reckon the greenlee punch is?
I bought one recently and apart from coming in a plastic box it looks exactly the same!

@Tigman
I recently organised a 1960's style tool box for a old man in a home.
He was suffering with age and boredom.

The tools were all from the age of 1940 to 1962.
He got it, and now has fun making wooden toys.
The only modern tool is the hot glue gun.

Those Q-max cutters were the DB on alloy & thin steel

The greenlee ones are a level up from the q-max.
I have put them in the bench press and done 2.5mm stainless with them.

The slug buster version is awesome if you have a lot of holes to do.
