Malco's unique, new Ceiling Grid Punch makes a clean 1/8" hole in up to three layers of 25 gauge ceiling grid. The tool's slim but strong steel "C" frame allows easy access in tight corners and is ideal for punching through main tees and perimeter wall angle that is to be secured with rivets. A generous throat opening allows full operation from the edge of both standard 1" and 1/2" grid profiles. The Malco Ceiling Grid Punch features durable all steel construction and rust resistant nickel plate and black oxide finishes; the 1/8" tool steel punch is easily replaceable. Lightweight, one hand operation, aided by compound leverage, helps assure a consistent professional quality installation. Tool also features non-slip vinyl grips with hand stops for added comfort and resistance to elements.
