      What punch? seaming panels

      Hi I am about to affix my inner rocker and I need some advice on tools. I need to punch quite a few holes into the panel to plug weld it. After researching I found a few tools.

      The hand tool like this one will punch an 8 mm hole and crip the panel. http://www.autobodytoolmart.com/hand...5-p-11749.aspx

      the Air tool is reported to do the same. http://www.autobodytoolmart.com/astr...8-p-11635.aspx

      Is thier any reason to buy the more expensive hand tool? Does it work better? (BTW i say more expensive cause its less then $80.00 direct)

      We've got an HTP pneumatic combo punch / flange tool... love that thing. Works great, no sore hands!
