usmc0341 Report post Posted January 15, 2012 I'm hoping someone can help me out. I have been using a hole punch with the name Sargent on it. I know these aren't made anymore, or if they are I can't find them, and I just cracked the punch tube on it. I'm hoping that someone knows where I can get replacement tubes (size "00") or another whole punch. I use this thing alot and the Osborne one I got just isn't as good. A freind of mine found this one at a flea market for $3 with the paperwork and everything but there were no extra tubes. Can anyone point me in the right direction to find a replacement? Thanks in advance for any help, Brian Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

usmc0341 Report post Posted January 16, 2012 Hey Sylvia, I did find that one which is I guess the new Sargent hand tools. Below is a picture of the one I have. It says "Sargent & Co New Haven CO" on it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It says "Sargent & Co New Haven CO" on it. Ok, here you go. I searched "Vintage Sargent Hole Punch" and found this deal on ebay. http://www.ebay.com/itm/2-VINTAGE-SARGENT-BERNARD-SPRING-PUNCH-LEATHER-PLIERS-/140519509355 Not exactly $3 but You get the rotary one too to have as a back up. There is also this one. http://cgi.ebay.com/Vintage-Sargent-and-Co-leather-hole-punch-hand-tool-Made-is-USA-6-sizes_W0QQitemZ160714652714QQcmdZViewItemQQssPageNameZRSS:B:SRCH:US:101 Hope one of these work for you. BTW, have you considered having the punch you have brazed or welded back and resharpened? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
usmc0341 Report post Posted January 16, 2012 I did see those Sylvia, but they are both bigger then the "00" size one I have. I guess I'll just have to keep checking ebay. I did not think about welding and resharpening it. Can they weld something this small? Thanks for your help by the way. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I did not think about welding and resharpening it. Can they weld something this small? Thanks for your help by the way. It depends on the welder and his tools. A wire welder may be able to do it if he can dial down the heat. It couldn't hurt to ask. The worst answer is "Nope"... right? So this is a really realy small hole..... like one for a watch band? Maybe you can talk to your local "working" jewelry or watch repair guy and see if he or she has a source for these small punches.

usmc0341 Report post Posted January 16, 2012 I think I will give that a try. Thank you! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Elliot Report post Posted January 18, 2012 I think I will give that a try. Thank you! When punching small holes, make sure the slugs are coming out. A little glue will plug them up and then split the punch. Use a small wire to check and push out the slugs. Have a punch like your picture not a Sargent, 6 tubes OO up to 5/32 Dim. Pm me if you want to buy. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
