I'm looking for D-shell hole punches, for DB and
DE shells, and
possibly DA as well - Greenlee is the name I know, but I daresay others
make them too. The major constraints: (a) the seller must ship to
Canada; (b) the seller must take phone or fax orders - I can tolerate
looking for things on the Web, but I will _not_ pay over the Web; (c)
they must be decent quality - no cheap knockoffs that break along about
the fifth time you use them (as Tony, I think, put it, I'm not rich
enough to buy cheap tools). There is no need to be especially fast to
use; if it takes a minute or two to position the pieces and crank a
bolt down with a wrench or something, that's OK.
Of course, I'd like them to be inexpensive too, but "inexpensive and
not cheap" is a combination I don't really expect to find. If I'm
asking for a pony, I'd also want the vendor to be in Montreal or
Ottawa, but that's, well, asking for a pony. :)
Any suggestions?
What's your budget? Mouser has Greenlee, but they're $230 or so apiece.
If you come across what you want on Ebay, I'll broker it for you.
