I have around $1700.00 invested in the whole set w/shipping.Will be using them in the next few day's.I will post up photos as soon as I have some panels.You can buy just one punch & die to fit your budget.Give Dan a call he is super easy to deal with.And really know's his Stuff.:thumbsup: :thumbsup:They do punch and flare the hole at the same time.
