Does This Plier Exist?

Question

I'm looking for a Plier much like an olive or cherry pitter, but with a larger diameter push-rod and a back-side hole diameter of 1" to

1-1/8"

Does such a thing exist?

Haven't seen one. Im thinking that the force required to push a 1" diameter punch or whatever through most materials would render a plier configuration less than optimal.

I Googled lever press and this popped to the top of the list:

For a 1" hole, I think this is more or less what will be available. Punches and dies sold separately, of course.

You could be a little more retarded, just not as much as you are in thisthread.

Too much force at that diameter.  Greenlee makes hand cranked as well as hydraulic driven hole punches.  Here's a China model.

No intense force needed.

Get ur self a cheap set of channel lock pliers and weld  thepieces you need on the jaws.   You must know some one around that can do that for you?-- "I'm never wrong, once i thought i was, but was mistaken"Real Programmers Do things like this.

OK, Yoda. ;-)  I think I know what you are up to. You want somethingthat can punch through the file packaging. The tolerances will probablyhave to be closer than those for an olive pitter or the foil will justfold around the punch. There are large paper punches sold at some artsan crafts shops that might fit the bill.-- Paul Hovnanian     mailto:------------------------------------------------------------------Smoking is one of the leading causes of statistics.                -- Fletcher Knebel

Then why would you need a one inch hole?
