Greenlee LS60 Battery-Powered Knockout Punch Driver
The Greenlee LS60 is a battery-powered hydraulic knockout punch driver, built for electricians, panel builders, and electrical contractors who need to put clean, accurate holes through panel steel for cable glands, conduit fittings, and bushings, without standing on a press for ten minutes per hole. Powerpoint Engineering supplies the LS60 to Irish contractors fitting out switchgear panels, distribution boards, and industrial enclosures, where speed, repeatability, and a low operator workload all matter.
Manual ratchet punches still have a place on the lightest gauge enclosure work. For anything heavier, a battery-powered LS60 turns each hole into a one-button operation, with the hydraulic ram doing the work and the operator just holding the tool steady.
What the Greenlee LS60 does
- Battery-powered hydraulic punching: replaces hand-pumping with a battery-driven hydraulic stroke for fast, consistent hole production.
- Knockout hole production through standard panel steel for cable glands, conduit, and accessory mounting.
- Compatibility with Greenlee Slug-Buster and standard knockout punches and dies, including round, square, rectangular, and double-D sets.
- One-handed operation in many configurations, freeing the second hand for stabilising the panel or holding the work.
- Auto-retract on cycle complete: the ram returns automatically once the punch finishes the cut, removing the most common operator-fatigue point.
Build quality and ease of use
Greenlee design their tools for daily contract use. The LS60 housing is sized for site work, the trigger is glove-friendly, and the battery platform is the same as the wider Greenlee Gator family of crimping and cutting tools, so a single charger and a small battery stock cover the whole crew. The hydraulics are sealed and the ram alignment is engineered for square cuts that do not deform the panel.
Compared to a hand-pump hydraulic kit, the LS60 reduces the time per hole and the cumulative load on the operator's wrist, both of which matter on a panel build with dozens of glands.

Target users and applications
- Electrical contractors fitting out distribution boards, control panels, and motor control centres
- Panel builders and switchgear assemblers cutting cable gland holes at volume
- Industrial maintenance teams modifying enclosures for new gland and conduit entries
- Renewable site electricians fitting out inverter and BESS enclosures
- Telecom and data installers cutting accessory mounting holes in cabinets
Typical applications include cable gland holes, conduit entries, accessory mounting holes, and any panel-cutting job where a clean, repeatable, square hole is needed faster than a manual punch can deliver. The LS60 fits straight into the same toolkit as a contractor's Klauke crimping tools and the wider cable preparation kit.
FAQs
Can the LS60 punch holes in stainless steel?
Within the LS60's stated punch capacity, yes, with the appropriate Slug-Buster punch and die set. Confirm the panel thickness and material against the punch specification before you order, and choose a die set rated for stainless if that is your typical work.
Does the LS60 use the same battery as Greenlee Gator crimpers and cutters?
Yes, on most current models. Greenlee battery-powered hydraulic crimpers, cutters, and the LS60 punch driver share a common battery platform, so a single charger and battery stock cover the full toolkit. Confirm the exact platform when you specify, especially across older and newer kit.
Can the LS60 be repaired locally if it fails?
Yes. Powerpoint Engineering's service workshop carries out repairs and parts replacement on Greenlee battery-powered hydraulic tools, including hydraulics service and battery platform support, so the LS60 stays working through the life of the contract.
