When I was starting out, I bought all my tools from my local Tandy. When I started pounding on a big strap end punch, the edge crumbled.  As a longtime woodworker, I can sharpen anything, but the steel in that tool was junk. I went back to Tandy and asked the manager if there was anything of better quality.  He was pretty blunt. "I won't buy that crap. Get your tools from Osborne."  

I took his advice and have never looked back -- strap-end punched, round punches, bag punches, rotary punches, you name it. They hold up well and resharpen easily. I also have a few of the Weaver Master Tools, and they'er very nice indeed. 

I do still use the little edge rounders from Tandy (all my big ones are from Osborne).  

The "Old" Tandy tools were nice, the new ones are absolute garbage, Osborne,  Weaver and King are very good quality tools

For wholesale customers, watch for your next sale flier with prices from 9/1-10/31, the round and oval Master Tool Punches will be going on sale.  They look to be about 15% off.  These punches (along with our Deluxe Round Knife) are featured on the back cover of the flier.  Any specific questions shoot me a pm.  

welcome to the forum.

you'd better be on the wave. there are many spicy customers over here ))
