> One important item with model making is tools. There are tons of tools
> that available on the market for us modellers. Hasegawa offers an
> excellent range of tools and their latest addition is a modelling punch
> in 1mm and 1.5mm diameters with interchangeable heads. The handle/body
> of the punch has a nice weight to it and feels very sturdy when handling
> it. As mentioned before the punch heads are interchangeable and are very
> sharp.

> I found when punching out some .60 plastic sheet I had lying around,
> that the disc would stay in the punch head. It would have been a bonus
> if there was a hole through the centre of the punch to push a rod
> through to dislodge the stuck plastic disc. If you were trying to
> dislodge it from the front you will need to pay some caution, as you may
> damage the cutting blade/surface.
>
> There are a couple of other options of punch sets, that are on offer
> from other tool makers, but they can be quite pricey. You can pick up
> the 3 Punch sets that are available from Hasegawa for about US$20 per
> set. They are worth the price and would be an excellent addiction to any
> modelers tool box.
