badger Report post Posted January 6, 2009 Does anyone have any spare Craftool oval punches? The small sizes used for punching holes in belts. I have a #5, but I'm after a #3, #4, #6 and #7 (if such sizes exist!) I'll pay a fair price for them. I don't really care how old they are.

Blake Report post Posted January 7, 2009 Hello Badger Since you are across the pond, Try Abby (Abbey) saddlery. They carry some oval punches and I Think but not sure that they are made by Dixon. I have several that I have had for years and they are much better than the Craftool. Also check for Osbourne which should be available to you too. www.abbeysaddlery.co.uk Blake Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bruce johnson Report post Posted January 7, 2009 Karl, I bought several sets of Mini and Maxi punches so I can just grab a punch, chuck it into the press and drill a hole. That gives me about 10 spares of each size tube. Heat them with a torch, squeeze the tube with a pliers lightly to an oval shape. Heat it again and quench. Home made oval punches for practically free. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
