UNSPSC 27121816: Hydraulic punch

Device used to drill holes in steel plates and beams using hydraulic pressure.

UNSPSC 27121816 Hydraulic punch is a Commodity code that covers specialized hand and power tools for fleet and facility maintenance operations. State and local governments procure hydraulic punches as components within larger professional-grade mechanic tool sets designed for garage and fleet maintenance across transportation departments, higher education institutions, and other state agencies. The tools are typically bundled with complementary hand tools (wrenches, screwdrivers, pliers, chisels), pneumatic power equipment, diagnostic instruments (tap and die sets, tubing and flaring kits), and organized storage solutions—all sold as coordinated master sets or individual items through cooperative purchasing agreements. Issuing bodies include state transportation departments, state purchasing offices acting on behalf of multiple agencies, and institutions of higher education accessing tools through statewide procurement contracts.
