  Unfortunately, the Harbor Freight punches are for electrical conduit sizes and are really not suitable for electronics use.  I definitely know this because I took a chance and bought one of the Harbor Freight sets a while back.  Once in a while, I find a use for one of the punches but not that often.  They were "cheap enough", and actually "on sale" when I bought the set, that I don't consider the money wasted.  But, for general electronics use, they are not much good.

  If you are not doing a LOT of these, Harbor Freight has a whole set for $20

  They would not stand up to repeated daily use on 12 gauge stuff but for 
  occasional use they might fit the bill ... and they can be shipped for $7.
