Browsing ebay for leathertools I stumbled upon these pricking irons:
these pricking irons are in many ways similar to those from 4z. They do however have a detectable head which means that the handle can be used for all the different sizes. Tooth are bought individually and comes in 4 different styles and each style in several different widths.
Does anybody have these irons?
@phil you should get a hold of these as well and make review!
i got rcidos to make me some strap end punches and some bag/oblong punches, as they didnt have the sizes i was after, they are unbelievably good. not the cheapest, but extremely accurate to what i wanted. here is a pic of a bag punch, as you can see the sides are extremely flat, unlike pretty much every other bag punch i have seen.
i wouldnt have any concerns about their quality. i would look on aliexpress for baterpacking store where they are from, might be a bit cheaper - just looked, and their site is down till the 28th july, being re-done. they have some really beautiful machined tools on there.
I totally missed that thread. Thanks alot

Hey bud, thanks for the link. There is a great review on here by @matthew.ellies comparing these to it's competitors (scroll down past my original post):
I have to admit, I'm too much of a sucker for a freshly restored vintage iron! :D
