An idea what they look like.  You might be able to find 
them at a good electrical supply stockhouse (where house 
wiring supplies are sold), as opposed to an electronic 
parts store.

I have several punches, including a 1-3/4" punch that I 
think I paid $30 for.  I use it for Hubbell AC 
receptacles in my custom rack panels.

The expensive punches are non-round punches, like D-sub 
punches for serial/parallel jacks on PCs.  These run at 
least $125.
