Lindova Punching & Clinching Tools

Hand-held punching tools put a clean hole in sheet without a press, which is what makes them useful for field work, retrofits and low volumes where fixturing a part into a press is not practical. Clinching tools join two sheets by cold-forming them together, with no rivet, weld or heat.

Clinching is worth understanding because it joins coated and dissimilar materials without damaging the coating, which welding does and riveting complicates. The joint strength depends on the punch and die set matching the material thickness combination.
