Does any one have an air punch/flange tool? I'm currently looking at the HF brand Chief. I figure there should be no hassle in case of warranty, and local return. What do you use?

Don’t know the brand of mine, either. It’s probably 30 years old, too. I suspect the same tool was sold with dozens of stick on labels over the years. It looks very similar to the current HF, but I am pretty sure I got it from some importer out of Georgia that used to advertise regularly in Old Cars Magazine.

I use the punch for rosette welds, although the die could be larger in diameter.

Don’t use the flanger very often, as it’s ineffective unless the metal being flanged is quite flat.
