November 28, 2016 – Ridgid says it is taking its RE 6 electrical tool to the next level—it is now available with the new Swiv-L-Punch knockout punch head, which will “not only make accessing tight spaces easier, but also increase efficiency and time-saving capabilities.”

Weighing 4.6 lb, the Swiv-L-Punch can make up to 4-in. holes in 12 gauge mild steel and 14 gauge stainless steel. It has 360-degree rotation at the pivot point of the Swiv-L-Punch as well as in the RE 6 QuickChange System collar.

Introduced in 2014, the RE 6 is a 3-in-1 battery-powered solution for cutting wires, crimping lugs and punching electrical boxes.
