Whitney #11 punch

[wantacoe]

I have had this for 20 years and have never changed a punch in it. Does anyone know if the nut holding the punch is left or right hand thread? It is kind of boogered up and the wrench slides off it. I may end up cutting it off. Also does anyone know what other models fit it? Thanks

Couldn't find an #11 punch at the Whitney site but here's a #16 that looks similar. Maybe you could call their customer service line and get your answer there?

I should have mentioned, mine is a rotary punch.

I have a 20c rotary punch. Gimme a few minutes to go fish it out.

Mine is left hand.

One I used at work was left hand thread.

I haven't messed with my No. 10 or 20 punches in a year or so, but I am pretty sure both use left hand threads as others have said.

I finally made it to my shop today. It is left hand thread. Thanks to all who replied.
