Members Mocivnik Posted February 12, 2018 Members Report Posted February 12, 2018 I'm desperate to find a good an useful 2 punch tools, and all I could come across is TandyLeather, stecksstore and ebay. First tool that I need is a 1" (or 25mm x 5mm) oval punch tool for belt tongue. On ebay and tandyleather I've found the proper tool, but I'm in doubt of quality. I've also found this 1" punch tool, but I don't know, whether is it worth it's money and/or should I search somewhere else? Second one is a 1-1/2 leather belt end punch tool (I would prefer 40mm, but I cannot find it anywhere :S ) I've found it on stecksstore, but again, doubting the quality. PS: Are craftool a good quality punches or not? Is there anywhere else I should be searching for those 2 items? Quote
bikermutt07 Posted February 12, 2018 Report Posted February 12, 2018 The Osbourne should be fine. The Tandy's are ok. But they always need a good sharpening. If you're up for it, check out the offerings from Weaver. Quote
Members Mocivnik Posted February 12, 2018 Author Members Report Posted February 12, 2018 Well, both seems to be around 50 on Weaver. Are they that much better quality? Quote
Members Mocivnik Posted February 12, 2018 Author Members Report Posted February 12, 2018 Okay, an update: Steckstore will not ship to my country, while Weaver wants 50$ for shipping. Both is too much for me. I guess I'm stuck with tandyleather. PS: How bad is crafttool company? Quote

But, they don't make a pro version of everything. What about Abby of England? Edited February 12, 2018 by bikermutt07 Quote

Members Aven Posted February 25, 2018 Members Report Posted February 25, 2018 Mocivnik, check out Goods Japan leather tools offerings. I have purchased a few of their pricking irons and their smallest edger. I've been very happy with all of them. I can't imagine that their punches wouldn't be the same quality. Quote
Members Brianm77 Posted February 25, 2018 Members Report Posted February 25, 2018 And they have really cheep regular shipping. Quote
Members Mattsbagger Posted February 25, 2018 Members Report Posted February 25, 2018 They are also called bag punches btw when you are searching. Quote

Members Mocivnik Posted February 26, 2018 Author Members Report Posted February 26, 2018 Well, that's a bit too much for me. I've ordered at LePrevo previous week, so I should be getting the items any moment now. Quote
