simontuntelder Report post Posted November 15, 2014 Hey, I need some of that Leatherworker magic, so please help if you can. I'm looking to buy some strap end punches from either Jeremiah Watt or Weaver. However I'm not that well oriented or well wandered within the world of American tools. So are there any good retailers that sell either of the two brands that offer a better price, good service or who are just good people? (I only have a Danish business license and not an American, so ordering direct from Weaver is probably out of the question) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Itch Report post Posted November 15, 2014 I would call Weaver and speak with them. We do go to their auction every June and they have been very nice to work with. I can highly recommend the Master tool series hand tools. The machines that they sell can usually be found at a little better price somewhere else under different names or a bit different...

bruce johnson Report post Posted November 16, 2014 Besides Weaver you can buy Jeremiah Watt tools directly from him as well at www.ranch2arena.com . Only Weaver sells the Master tools and that is their "house brand". You still may be able to buy from Weaver directly with a Danish license. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
simontuntelder Report post Posted November 26, 2014 Thanks Itch, and Bruce. I'll call Weaver, although calling the US is always a pain because of the time difference. And I did know about Ranch2Arena - among the worst websites around in term of user friendliness. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bemavu Report post Posted December 5, 2014 Hi Simontuntelder, For us Europeans, I'm from Holland, it 's no problem to buy from Weaver. Only the minimum order you have to spent with them is $ 250,=. , plus shipping and handling. If you sent them a mail you will be answered very quick. In 2004 I was their and they are very nice people to speak with. You can also look on their website for your stuff. It's good. Bert. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Colt W Knight Report post Posted December 6, 2014 I have some weaver master tool punches, and they very high quality. Never going back to inferior quality leather tools. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
simontuntelder Report post Posted December 12, 2014 OK, lot of people recommending Weaver and from what I've seen they're beautiful and good tools. However there's still the issue of custom, import and service fees when buying from the US - being European. Does anybody have experience with recent Blanchard strap end chisels?
