Thesepunches do not leave a burr on the metal. Several features contribute to the convenience of the op-erator. Among these is the absence of long, clumsy handles;the operator is brought close to the material and can followthe punch marks quickly and accurately; only a half turnof the lever is required to drive the punch through the metal;the handle is above the center and naturally tends tokeep the punch upright. The punches and dies may Ije changed easily. There may. Jiffy Portable Speed Punch be some classes of work witli which it is desirable to clampthe punch in a vise; this can readily be done with the Jiffypunch.
