No, I'm thinking the duplex plugs, which aren't round. Flat top and
bottom, rounded sides. Would be nice if it punched both, or
punched one at a time and indexed off the center screw hole.
A hole saw wont make that shape hole.
If I have to use a press to punch the holes, I can live with
that too.
Not urgent, just a wild hair idea I'm kicking around.
thanks

You will need to make a 7/8" hole first to use the knock-out punch (the 1" size has a large bolt). Any big box store for the hole saw or EBAY for the knock-out punch.
