For the price of that punch, I can get a mini-mill? Hmmmmmm :twisted:

I think I know which I would buy. To be honest, I think the price of that punch really isn't justified regardless of where it was made.

I use this as my space-saving solution as it incorporates the IEC inlet and mains fuse:

This maybe I could tollerate, unless it uses some wierdo unobtainium fuse.
I've got one of those in an amp I built. I pretty much use what I can find. It takes a 5x20mm fuse, which is actually a fairly standard item. Finding just one for a spare proved impossible. I bought a box of 10 on eBay for a very good price.

takes less than 5 minutes to nibble the hole for one of the standard IEC cutouts, if yer quick like me. :)

the larger fuse included types, maybe 10-20 minutes.

another option is to use a neutrik powercon. round hole goodness. but, if you lose yer cable, yer fudged!!!!!!
