A good quality kit is pretty expensive. If you are not planning on
cutting 100's of holes I would look at places like harbor freight<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.harborfreight.com/knockout-punch-kit-91201.html">http://www.harborfreight.com/knockout-punch-kit-91201.html</a><br>
Look for a conversion chart because the actual hole sizes are much
larger than the conduit size marked on them. 1 1/4" conduit size is
a 1.7" hole<br>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">Not sure what
size holes you want, but small ones just use a drill. For
larger, buy or borrow electrician's knockout punches. That is
what they would use to make a hole in an electrical panel for
new conduit. I have a neighbor who is an electrician and has
a pro hydraulic set that I borrowed. Very cool, requires you
to drill a pilot hole but then the punches cut through sheet
metal like butter. <br>
