About Inspection Pliers
Inspection pliers, or hole punch pliers, are metal tools equipped with a fixed punch shape used to make control marks in paper or plastic. Each model in the Navacqs range creates a small punched-out mark that makes control actions directly visible. Both models are easy to use by hand and require no electricity or maintenance.
Types of Hole Punch Pliers
The NCT-1 is a lightweight model designed for occasional use. Thanks to its simple construction and low weight, the pliers sit comfortably in the hand. This version is suitable for paper and cardboard and comes with a round 3 millimetre punch. For those who require more durability, the NCT-3 is a fitting option. Made from solid stainless steel, it is designed for regular use and can also punch through plastic cards. The most high-end model in the range is the NCT-2. Fully chrome-plated and constructed from solid steel, this punch plier is made for intensive professional use. The NCT-2 is available from stock with either a round or triangular punch and can be fitted with other shapes on request, such as a star or letter.
Jaw depth
The jaw depth determines how far the punch can reach into the material. The NCT-1 offers a jaw depth of 20 millimetres, which is sufficient for small labels or ticket cards. The NCT-3 reaches 30 millimetres and is ideal for entry passes or inspection labels. The NCT-2 has the largest reach at 50 millimetres, offering added flexibility when punching larger documents or cards.
Applications
Hole punch pliers are commonly used for access control, inspection marking and registration purposes. In lifts or on machinery, they are used to mark inspection labels after checks. At events or within subscription systems, they help prevent reuse of cards. The more robust models, such as the NCT-2 and NCT-3, can also punch through plastic cards, making them suitable for a wider range of professional applications. However, these pliers are not suitable for punching leather or thick straps.
Customized Hole Punch Pliers
The standard models are equipped with a round 3 millimetre punch. Depending on the model, other shapes are also possible, such as triangles, stars, squares or even a custom letter or logo. The NCT-2 and NCT-3 can be personalised from a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces. For details, please contact us at +31 (0) 10-495 0000 or email sales@navacqs.com.
