Default Dimple Slitter

I just go this new tool. Didn't know I needed it, until I saw it!
It's a Dimple Slitter. A few years ago I made some electronics enclosures
for an old Bomber, and had to make these dimples by hand.

This is the tool.

This is the dimple/slit front side

Back side.
On the electronic case's, these dimples make the feet/drain holes on the enclosure. One in each corner.

Those dimples are nice. You could probably use them for quick fasterners too? The ones that you turn 25 degrees for relaease of fastening.

The tool was used in a sheet metal fab shop years ago. It put rows of dimples in a strip of sheet metal used to hold turning vanes in air ducts. Neat tool ,wish I had one.
