    Abstract: A punch tool is provided that is adapted to create a pair of spaced apart apertures through a thin-walled work piece when clamped. The device comprises a hand tool having a pair of handles and a tool head comprising a first head portion and a second head portion. The head portions pivot away from each other and bear against one another based on movement of the handles to compress a sheet of material therebetween. The head portions are T-shaped members, in which the first head portion supports a pair of dies and the second head portion supports a pair of punches adapted to be received by the dies. The head portions are clamped together, whereby the dies are punched through the work piece sheet material to form spaced apart apertures. An embodiment of the head portions contemplates an adjustable width for varying the spacing of the punches.
