Guys, I am new to this forum but work at a fairly large sheet metal shop. I have the need for a tool to form a crimp and Button Punch application. I've seen this type of seam lock some where but just can't remember where. It was a hand held tool either electric or pneumatic. Any ideas?

Thanks,

BobHH

Locklin, Thanks for the info but after I called about the tool I was told it could not be used on 20 Gauge SST. Any other suggestions?

Thanks,

BobHH

Perhaps it's a silly idea, but what about the use of a Whitney Jr. with a larger bottom die and a smaller diameter upper die. Maybe it works with some judicious use, especially if you don't have a whole lot to do.

I think you are thinking of this maybe ??

No. 9 - Universal Button Punch. It is rated for 3 pcs of 20 ga.....not sure about ST though.
