Frodo Report post Posted June 23, 2021 Some punches are rather pricey, If you are on a budget but need a 1 1/2 round punch for your belts a 1 1/4''' copper fitting will work. it is 1/32 to small, sandpaper will fix that https://www.supplyhouse.com/Elkhart-30910-1-1-4-Copper-Coupling Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JohnnyLongpants Report post Posted August 3, 2021 For the price of one CS Osborne 1/2" punch (which is definitely a better tool, but...) you can buy a set of 19-50 leather punches in shapes, available on Amazon and other places. These are sharpend and made of ribbon tool. They are way better than freehand. One such set looks like this: 50 pc leather punch tools in shapes for $20 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
