I've never seen a Greenlee punch in the UK. The famous ones over here 
were called 'Q-Max', and are _very_ good, and last a long time if not 
misused.

There were some cheap knock-offs that were useless and made poor holes 
(if they worked at all). 

RS components (nothing to do with Radio Shack, this is a major electronic 
component distributor know to old hands as 'Radiospares') sell their own 
brand of punches. I have no idea who makes them, but they are good (if 
expensive). A D-connector punch is getting on for \pounds 100 (!).

Yep, just like our Q-Max punches.
