Knockout Tools
Knockout Tools for Electricians and Plumbers
Knockout tools punch clean round holes in electrical boxes, panels, and enclosures for conduit fittings. Milwaukee leads with M18 FORCE LOGIC 6-ton and 10-ton cordless knockout tools, sold tool only or in 1/2-inch to 2-inch and 1/2-inch to 4-inch kits, plus EXACT draw stud and sink knockout sets. DeWALT offers the DCE600 20V MAX hydraulic knockout tool. Klein manual knockout punch sets suit occasional holes in 1/2-inch and 3/4-inch sizes.
What to Look For
- Manual or powered. Manual punches suit a few holes. Cordless hydraulic tools save time on panel work.
- Punch range. Kits list their punch and die range. Buy the range your conduit sizes need.
- Tonnage. More tonnage pushes punches through thicker or harder enclosure material.
- Draw studs. Spare draw studs keep the punch running when one wears.

Knockout Tools FAQ
6-ton or 10-ton Milwaukee knockout tool?
Both FORCE LOGIC tools are listed with kits that reach 4 inches. The 6-ton model handles typical box and panel work. The 10-ton model adds force for heavier gauge and harder material.
What is the Milwaukee EXACT sink knockout set for?
The 1-3/8 inch sink set punches holes in sinks for faucets and fixtures. It lets plumbers add a hole on site with a knockout tool instead of drilling.
