Members fuyuko83 Posted June 1, 2011 Members Report Posted June 1, 2011 (edited) So I managed to break my Tandy sewing punch. I do use it quite a lot, and on everything from suede (garment and otherwise) to tooling leather (up to 4ish oz). Somehow I've bent the strip that serves as the 'spring' part, and it's about to break in half. I can see that it is attached with a screw, but I don't have high hopes that I can buy a replacement part. Not that it's Tandy's fault - but should I buy another $40 punch from them, or invest in a different brand like Osborne? I could use your wisdom! Thanks Edited June 1, 2011 by fuyuko83 Quote
electrathon Posted June 1, 2011 Report Posted June 1, 2011 To start with I would have them warranty it, then decide if you want to upgrade to a higher quality. If you do, save it as a spare. Aaron Quote
Members Spence Posted June 1, 2011 Members Report Posted June 1, 2011 I had the same thing happen to mine. Too lazy to bring it back and eventually force-wrapped a piece of lace around the punch spindle (squeezing the rotary tight) as a temporary fix - 5 years ago Quote
Members radar67 Posted June 1, 2011 Members Report Posted June 1, 2011 If it is the pro punch you speak of, it has a lifetime warranty on it. Quote
