Default 1-1/8" Greenlee Knockout Punch I can borrow?

Does anyone have a 1-1/8" Greenlee (or similar good quality) knockout punch I can borrow to punch a hole in my firewall for a passthru? I will pay postage both ways.
Thanks!

Trevor,

Just to suggest an alternative, you can get this punch kit from Harbor Freight:

Greenlee quality it ain't, but it does the job just fine, and is a good value. Having it on hand, I've found it useful on many occasions.

Default I used a hole saw.

Trevor, I couldn't find one either and bought the proper size hole saw from the aviation department at Lowes. Boelubed it up, clamped a 2x8 in the inside and drilled/cut away. Not perfect, but there wasn't a whole lot of cleanup to the hole. YMMV
