A punch retainer is formed with a bore in its upper portion for releasably securing a punch therein. The lower portion of the punch retainer is formed as a cylinder for a vertically movable stripper piston. The portion of the cylinder above the piston is connected to a source of gas under pressure so as to bias the piston downwardly. The punch extends downwardly in sealed relation through a central bore in the piston and terminates slightly above the lower end of the piston when the piston is in its lowermost position.
