General 72 Punch Review

Our scorecard

The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other hand tools and workshop hand tools we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.

Overview

The General 72 punch is priced at $9.08 and carries a 4.5-star rating across an enormous 20,419 reviews, by far the largest review count of any product in this batch. Amazon shows about 2,000 units bought in the last month, also the highest recent purchase volume here.

At 6.4 ounces and 3.75 by 3 by 8.5 inches, it is a compact, lightweight tool. The listing does not include a material or point-angle spec, so the exact steel type is not confirmed.

With a review count and purchase volume far above every other punch in this batch, the General 72 has the deepest track record here, even though its 4.5-star average sits slightly below several lower-volume competitors.
