bag punches, end punches

[rawhide1]

I've been hunting some bag and end punches (1/2,5/8,3/4) I would love to get ahold of some Gomph or old osborne but since I can't seem to find any. Does anyone know of a place to get some good quality ones. I really don't want tandy or new osborne are their others out there.

Thanks for any help in this matter

ps also a good source for drive punches

Hey fellas

Thanks for the reply's I think I'll pick up a few more soda cans (it may take awhile) an go with the horseshoe brand punches. They sure are purty!

Thanks again, Mike

It's hard to beat Weaver's tools. They come sharp and are worth the extra bucks in my opinion.

I looked at the Weaver tools and they look like nice tools. But I don't have a tax # so I don't think I can order from them. But thanks for the suggestion.

Mike,

This guy used to post some of these on eBay. He had oblong punches (sold them as Amish steel - painted blue) as well as other strap end cutters.

Mike,

I have a set of Weaver punches and they work, but are not nearly as nice as the old Gomph punches I've been picking up to replace them with. If you call Bob Douglas he can set you up with old Gomphs or Osbornes. The old Gomphs are pretty pricey!

You might check with Brettuns Village Leather to see if they have or can obtain the sizes you need. They apparently sell some O'brien strap-end and bag punches. . .

I want to thank you guys for the contact numbers and sites!! I didn't relize there were so many choices out there. I've checked out alot of the differnet suppliers and makers. They all seem to be good tools and around the same price. I'm gonna call Bob Douglas tommorrow and check on the Gomph and Osborne prices. Now comes the hard part of making a decsion. LOL But I reckon ya get what ya pay for.

Once again I want to Thank everyone for taking the time to reply and helping me out.
