nice job Paul, I love mine. I still need to purchase a powerful enough cordless impact wrench to punch thru the angle instead of by hand.

Re: Windmill Tower Punch
The ones I have don't have the hex drive. I often considered grinding it for that, but the holes are in the way. Oh well. Helps keep muscle tone.
Call Dan Benjamin for parts. P M me for the phone number.
Re: Windmill Tower Punch
Paul,
I purchased a new Dewalt cordless impact wrench, and it has enough power to punch the holes without using the round bar. Great time saver.

Re: Windmill Tower Punch
Great to know Jerry! I have to replace a couple of sections in a Stover tower this week so will give my impact a try.

Jerry , thanks for sharing that Dewalt battery impact driver works ,
I will have to wait to try that tip as Thomas has the old version with the ratchet handle on top , someday when he get the newer version I'll get to use on tower repair .

Re: Windmill Tower Punch
Actually the one I got is not racheting. I misunderstood and thought all the ropers had the racheting handle. In actuality the racheting handle is an upgrade you can get for it. Oh well haha, but if I can just take the handle off and use my Milwaukee impact or 1/2 racket that's just as good if not better!
Ps. Mike you are welcome to my tower punch anytime you need it. I don't think I'll use it very often haha

Re: Windmill Tower Punch
Yeah it's one of our tools that can gather dust before we need it, but it becomes our best buddy when we do need it. Mine is the old style like Windy has so I some time have to put a cheater bar on it to punch a hole.
