Long since gone Sharki - but having said that, fellow member Fin off here clocked a set in a shop in his neck of the woods ooop north a year or so ago and kindly sent me them

Also not forgetting Bill Yards who also sorted me out when I went for a dip and lost a couple of my original set.

Wont say they are like rocking horse sh*t, you may just stumble upon a dusty set lying in a corner of a tackle shop somewhere..........

Googling aint turned up any - just links of people on forums trying to find a set......

Loads of different sets from Drennan, Sensas, Middy, Maver, Fox etc for sale on fleabay......

yeah mate i did the same google search myself last night and got the same answers
i know lee kerry who is preston sponsored so when i see him next al have a word if anybody can get a set it will be him

I used to use the Preston spring ones, - they are very good.
The one downside with them, I found this out to my cost in a match, if it is damp or are used extensively for long periods, they can jam up, it has happened more than once with me.

Mist of our lads use Fox, than have solid brass ends and take an eternity to wear.

A lot has always been said about the slit at the business end of the punch, I never use it, more of a hindrance

I still have an original Embassy pen like set of punches where the various tops go inside the main barrel, I have one missing. The original ones, very rare to find nowadays, never had a slit in them at all

Drennan and fox are the two types I use, I prefer the drennan punches tho

Just clocked this sharki
