How Do You Store Your Pricking Irons?

[Wild Bill46]

I really like the idea of good quality pricking irons ! At present I use Tandy's

I really like the idea of 3wunders pricking irons leather storage rack, and Hole punch numbering system on the wall

both are easy to access. Thanx 3Wunder

Still, I really like the idea of Basically Bobs storage rack, and his hood idea too, also on the wall for easy access. Thanx Bob

Now I have two problems ??

1. Which to chose ? and

2. What kind of Pricking irons are these ??? They look strong, and as if they would last forever ?

Joe snuffle's irons look to be the same too. Is there a name brand ?? and a distributor ? Thanx guys for your help !

I got them from eBay. I searched and compared for a couple weeks and decided on these. I didn't get them because I think they're the best money can buy, but I believe they're the best I can afford at the moment.

I purchased from this eBay seller. He promptly answered questions about his items before I bought. http://www.ebay.com/usr/2002memory

This was the item: http://www.ebay.com/itm/111348511344 "High Quality White Steel / Diamond Stitching Chisel 3mm, 1 + 2 + 4 + 6+10 prong"

I can't speak for their quality compared with the high dollar models, but these are a vast improvement over the Tandy models and are actually a little cheaper per chisel than the Tandy when purchased as a set. On the model I purchased, the steel is much harder and it's also polished, making it much easier to remove from the leather.

This is a close up. You can see the holes this one makes compared to the Tandy chisel labeled 3mm.

Actually, it's Jeff. Joe Snuffie is what drill sergeants called you if they couldn't remember your name. I guess I wan't very memorable because I got called that a few times back in 1993 at Ft. Jackson. It just stuck and I've used it ever since.

He answered this four posts above yours...

So I would contact that seller and see if they have any available at the moment.

HomeDepot sells a long magnetic bar that you can screw into your wall or work bench. I attach my punches and my stiching irons small screw drivers, what ever metal object you would like.
