Good day all!

For years, I had a marvellous leather punch which made four evenly-spaced round holes. When we moved back to the city, I couldn't find it and purchased the tool shown in the picture from Tandy.

Sadly, it has proven most unsatisfactory - after some really light use, it is now so dull that it won't even punch 3 oz leather. Further, the holes are a tad smaller than my old wonderful tool used to make.

Now Tandy have shown absolute integrity and are shipping me a new one with no argument whatever so it's hard to grepse, but of course it's the same tool and I fear that it will shortly prove useless as the other one.

Can you leatherworkers point me to another source where I might have better luck?
