Why does nobody talk about the difference between a good and a great knockout punch?

I was cutting a 2 inch hole in a 12 gauge panel last week. My old punch was dull and took a lot of force, leaving a rough edge. I borrowed a buddy's Greenlee punch that was sharp, and it went through like butter with a clean cut. The time and effort saved was huge. Which tool upgrade made the biggest difference in your daily work?

Ever try a really good pair of wire strippers? That smooth, clean strip feels just as good as a clean punch.

Oh man, that's so true. It's like the little wins that make a job feel good. I get the same feeling when I sharpen a chainsaw perfectly and it just glides through a branch. That clean cut, no pulling or tearing. Makes the whole task smoother, you know? What's your go-to brand for strippers?
