• 375 mm length for extended reach and leverage
• 1.3 kg weight for balanced manual control
• SKU VHD-1 for easy identification and reorders

Dependable performance for precise alignment and drift work

Built for repeatable results, this manual punch combines carbon steel robustness with a design that supports controlled impact work. The heavier head and longer shaft give steady momentum, reducing the number of strikes needed to shift pins or loosen fitted parts. As a consequence, workshop throughput improves because fewer corrective operations are required, and wear on adjacent components is minimised. The tool’s straightforward form means maintenance is limited to routine inspection, supporting continuity in production and repair tasks.

Practical length and weight that improve accessibility and control

A 375 mm overall length delivers extended reach into confined assemblies and behind structural components where shorter tools cannot access. The tool’s 1.3 kg mass is balanced to offer both driving force and tactile control, enabling accurate strikes without excessive fatigue during repeated use. For technicians working on fixtures, frames or maintenance jobs, this combination of reach and handling reduces the need for awkward positioning or additional aids, speeding up task completion while maintaining safe working postures.

Lower downtime through rugged materials and clear identification

Constructed from carbon steel, the tool resists deformation under impact and retains shape over prolonged use, translating into fewer replacements and lower indirect costs. Clear labelling with SKU VHD-1 and manufacturer details simplifies inventory management and reorder processes, helping workshops keep necessary spares at hand. The tool’s simple geometry also means compatibility with existing hammers and holders, avoiding investment in special accessories. Reliability in everyday tasks supports steady workflow and predictable maintenance planning.
