I'd like to know where to get one of these. I've read about them before, but haven't ever seen them. They do sound useful.

I have alot of aircraft modeler friends that use them for the gauges in their aircraft cockpits. I think that they make pretty good rivets if you can get the right size. The only drawback that I can see by getting them is the price. If I remember correctly they are just a little pricey.

I have both sets of the Historex variety. Went this way as they have more holes per punch.

As for the punch itself, all I can say is that it is a widely used tool within my collection.

Hence, get one of them!

We've been treating the subject before. Find everything you always wanted to know about punch&die sets... and then some more. If you go down in that post, you'll find illustrations and comments.

I've had both Waldron sets and consider them quite valuable in my modeling tool box - a good investment to make.
