Klein Tools 53838 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Which conduit sizes does the Klein Tools knockout die come in?
Two sizes are offered: a die for 1-inch conduit, part number 53838, and a die for 2-inch conduit, part number 53868. Order by the conduit trade size you are punching for, since each die cuts one hole diameter only.
2) What is the maximum material thickness a Klein 53838 knockout die will punch?
The die is rated to a maximum capacity of 10 gauge mild steel. That covers typical enclosure and panel sheet steel; anything heavier than 10 gauge mild steel is outside the rating.
3) What size hole do I need for 1-inch and 2-inch conduit knockouts?
Trade size conduit does not match the hole diameter. A 1-inch conduit knockout is a 1.362-inch hole and a 2-inch conduit knockout is a 2.416-inch hole, which is why dies are called out by conduit size rather than by drill diameter. Klein's 53838 covers the 1-inch conduit hole and the 53868 covers the 2-inch.
4) Can I use this knockout die on an aluminum or fiberglass enclosure?
Yes. Besides mild steel, the Klein knockout die also cuts aluminum, fiberglass and plastic, so it works on non-metallic and aluminum junction boxes and panels as well as steel enclosures.
5) Is a knockout die a complete tool, or do I need a draw stud and driver too?
A knockout die is the cutting half only, a die and punch set sized to one hole diameter. You still need the draw stud and the driving means, whether that is a manual ratchet wrench setup or a hydraulic or battery knockout driver. Buy the die to match the conduit size, and match the draw stud thread to the driver you already own.
6) Does a knockout die punch a clean hole or does it need deburring afterward?
The die is built to punch holes cleanly and accurately, which is the point of using a knockout punch instead of a hole saw or step bit: the shear cut leaves a round, burr-light hole that seats a conduit connector properly without chatter or an oval opening.
7) What finish is on the Klein knockout die, and will it rust in a damp gang box?
The die carries a black oxide finish, which gives mild corrosion resistance and cuts down on glare and galling in use. It is a surface treatment, not plating, so wipe the die down and keep a light film of oil on it if the tool bag lives in a truck.
