PUNCH SET FOR ELECTRICAL BOX
A punch set for use with a punch tool to punch material from a wall of an electrical box. The punch set has a punch with a cutting section, and a die defining a cavity that is configured to receive the cutting section. The cutting section may have an annular or circular portion and a plurality of keyway forming portions each extending radially from the annular or circular portion. The cutting section of the punch may be insertable into the cavity of the die in a single orientation. The die may have a protrusion receivable within a recess of the punch when the cutting section is received in the cavity. One of the die or punch may have an extension that is receivable in a single orientation within an opening in the other of the die or punch.
HANDHELD PUNCH TOOL
A handheld punch tool includes a housing, a die holder coupled to the housing, a die supported by the die holder, the die and the die holder defining a feed slot therebetween for receiving a workpiece to be cut, and a punch configured to reciprocate within the die holder, with a main body defining a first longitudinal axis extending centrally through the main body and a punch element extending from the main body along a second longitudinal axis parallel to the first longitudinal axis. The punch element is configured to cut a first distance into the workpiece per stroke of the punch when the feed slot faces a first side of the punch and to cut a second distance into the workpiece per stroke when the feed slot faces a second side of the punch opposite the first side. The first distance is greater than the second distance.
HANDHELD PUNCH TOOL
A handheld punch tool includes a housing, a die holder coupled to the housing, a die supported by the die holder, the die and the die holder defining a feed slot therebetween for receiving a workpiece to be cut, and a punch configured to reciprocate within the die holder, with a main body defining a first longitudinal axis extending centrally through the main body and a punch element extending from the main body along a second longitudinal axis parallel to the first longitudinal axis. The punch element is configured to cut a first distance into the workpiece per stroke of the punch when the feed slot faces a first side of the punch and to cut a second distance into the workpiece per stroke when the feed slot faces a second side of the punch opposite the first side. The first distance is greater than the second distance.
Hydraulic hand-held knockout punch driver
A hand-held knockout driver includes a main housing having a handle portion, a motor positioned within the main housing, a pump assembly driven by the motor, and a secondary housing coupled to the main housing and defining a bore therein. The hand-held knockout driver also includes a working piston moveable within the bore from a rest position to an actuated position to define a piston throw distance therebetween. The hand-held knockout driver also includes a draw stud coupled to the working piston, a die coupled to the secondary housing, and a punch coupled to the draw stud opposite the working piston for movement therewith relative to the die. The die has a depth greater than the piston throw distance.

HAND-HELD KNOCKOUT PUNCH DRIVER
A hand-held knockout punch driver includes a housing, a motor positioned within the housing, a head unit removably coupled to the housing, the head unit including a body, an input member movable relative to the body, and a draw rod to which at least one of a punch or a die is attachable. The draw rod is configured to move axially relative to the body in response to movement of the input member relative to the body. A quick-release mechanism removably couples the body to the housing and includes radially inward-extending locking members on one of the housing or the head unit and a plurality of radially outward-extending locking members on the other of the housing or the head unit engageable with the radially inward-extending locking members to lock the head unit to the housing.

Systems and methods of food packaging closure
A tamper-evident food delivery packaging systems, methods of tamper-evident packaging of food for delivery, and apparatus for tamper-evident food packaging operate to form resilient self-fastening perforations through a packaging. A binding apparatus includes an anvil and a flipper plate. A cutter head includes a profile blade and a slot blade. A pusher is pivotably connected between the profile blade and the slot blade. The cutting apparatus moves in a reciprocal motion relative to the anvil while the flipper plate engages a pusher to pivot the pusher during the reciprocal motion.
Methods of making and implanting barbed microcatheters having fluid egress openings for infusing therapeutic fluids
A method of making a barbed microcatheter having fluid egress openings includes obtaining a barbed microcatheter blank having a hollow tube with a proximal end, a distal end, and an elongated lumen that extends between the proximal and distal ends of the hollow tube, and first and second flattened regions that extend along opposite sides of the hollow tube. The method includes removing material from the first and second flattened regions of the barbed microcatheter blank to form barbs projecting outwardly from the opposite sides of the hollow tube, and using cutting elements for forming fluid egress openings in a wall of the hollow tube that are in fluid communication with the elongated lumen of the hollow tube. The method includes forming a tissue anchor that is connected with the proximal end of the hollow tube, and securing a surgical needle with the distal end of the hollow tube.
