Our punches are widely used in the aerospace and aviation industries, where care must be taken to preserve structural integrity during disassembly or rework. Made from lightweight but durable aluminium, these tools are non-marring and ideal for use on delicate surfaces such as aircraft skins or precision metal assemblies.

Our product range includes:

  • Aluminium Drift / Knockout Punches: Designed to safely knock out rivets, Hi-Lok collars, and other temporary or permanent fasteners without deforming the hole or damaging the workpiece.
  • Rivet Knockout Punches: Precision tools for punching out set rivets during repair or panel removal, particularly useful in aircraft MRO environments.
These tools are commonly used for:

  • Removing rivets and temporary fasteners cleanly and efficiently
  • Supporting repair, modification, or rework tasks without introducing new surface damage
  • Ensuring consistent results across aircraft structures and panels
Aluminium punches are preferred in aviation because they won’t spark, scar, or distort high-performance alloys, making them ideal for use on structural components and sensitive assemblies. As with all our products, our knockout punches are manufactured to high standards and trusted by professionals working on aircraft from Boeing, Airbus, and beyond.
