I have a single-action sheet metal punch, punches holes from 3/32" to
9/32". I think I got it at Harbor Freight.
Whilst adding some extra holes to the frame of this work-bench I am
building I royally busted up my knuckles.
Is there a multi-action device out there that has real pressure
multiplication?

Maybe the punch is not made for the guage your punching?

Maybe I just need longer handles :-}
Reminds me of how I "assisted" a Craftsman end wrench many years ago
by adding on a piece of pipe (*). Bent the wrench, but got the
head-bolt loose. Took it back to Sears... the clerk smirked and
handed me a new one :-)
(*) I know, I know, I now own a rather long and sturdy torque wrench
but, when you're 22, who can afford one?
I bought one when I was 20.
By the time I was 22 I was married with one kid and 3 months from
graduating M.I.T.

I love to cook with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food.
