Hey guys, I thought I'd share this here first. Tomorrow I'll put it on Instagram.
I cleaned up and sharpened some wad punches I got in the post today.
For an entire set from 3mm to 12mm I didn't expect anything spectacular for £55.99, but I have to say they are great! German made which I thought was a nice touch.
Anyway, they needed a little polishing to make them cut and pull out smoothly like most do, so I made a quick video on my phone for you guys.
eBay Link. <<< Punches.
I found a set of 12 of these here in the Netherlands for 30 euros
Although I must say they needed quite a bit of work to work well
They look exactly the same and looking closely at the paint I suspect they are 😁

Those look awesome, I’ll for sure have to pick some up! Have you any experience with the Beiler punches? I just grabbed an Oblong lunch the other day and it came incredibly sharp for a great price. The only catch is that they are Amish and don’t have a website, so you gotta call and place An order over the phone. They are also a wholesaler so you’ll need a business ID (EIN) but they happily sold me 1 punch. They ship internationally too. Thanks for the info on sharpening!
