Henkelloche iron 16 mm - Kukko Quality Tools Inc

The Kukko 326-016 Henkelloche Iron is a professional-grade 16 mm hollow punch engineered for creating precise, repeatable holes in common automotive and industrial sealing materials. Designed for consistent daily use in demanding workshop environments, this tool ensures clean, burr-minimized cuts crucial for reliable custom gaskets, washers, and sealing rings.

Key Features

• 16 mm Nominal Diameter: Delivers accurate, repeatable hole sizing, essential for precise fitment in custom gaskets, bushings, and pass-through applications.
• High-Grade Tool Steel Construction: Built for the rigors of professional use, offering exceptional durability and a long service life under frequent hammer impact.
• Induction-Hardened Cutting Edge: Provides sharply ground cuts that reduce post-cutting finishing work and support the creation of reliable sealing surfaces.
• Efficient Hollow Cylinder Design: Facilitates quick material slug ejection, preventing clogging and maintaining consistent cutting performance during repetitive tasks.
• Wide Material Compatibility: Effectively punches through common materials like rubber, leather, felt, various plastics, cork, and technical fabrics encountered in automotive and industrial settings.

Applications

The Kukko 326-016 is indispensable for fabricating or modifying 16 mm holes in custom gaskets and sealing components, particularly when OEM parts are unavailable, discontinued, or require adaptation. Typical uses include creating or modifying seals for engine, transmission, hydraulic, coolant, and auxiliary systems across passenger vehicles, light and heavy-duty trucks, agricultural equipment, and industrial machinery. It is also valuable for workshop tasks such as creating 16 mm openings for mounts, bushings, and hardware in rubber pads, isolation mounts, and protective covers.
