I also attempt to by U.S. made items but not always possible today. Punches appear to be heavy enough to do the job and at $10.00 per, it may not be a bad investment. I have taken chances with items before and most of the time, all was well. Hope it works out if you buy.

Hello Needles, No idea if Ohio Travel Bag will ship to UK but would not hurt to ask. They have rivets of many types and finishes that may be what you are seeking. They also sell small quantities and pricing usually very reasonable and price breaks available in quantity purchases. Very fast wit filling orders as well. Good luck and hope this is of assistance.

Hello Nightshade. I do not make shoes or boots but I did read an article recently, about a company that makes custom shoe/boot lasts. I believe the article was in Shop Talk so you might begin looking there. No idea how many different tools you will need but plenty available. Try Proleptic, the folks that do Shop Talk as they know what is going on. www.proleptic.net should get you started. Plenty of folks on this site into shoes and boots and sure they will lend a hand. Good luck. Ray
