I found a thread on here that touched upon the subject but drifted off into merits of the 172 over the 171 etc I could not see the original question answered.

As I am now also in need of the same spare tip I thought I would ask again if any one has a specific source they can quote.

Please note I am very happy with my punch.

I am not interested in alternatives or a discussion of the x/y/z of any thing else.

Please only reply if you know an actual source !

Thank you

Clive

I hope I am wrong, Clive … but this suggests that new spare points are no longer available

This says its for the 65-171R which I think is different unless its just the modern part number, I can't seem to find anything closer.

Hi Michael,

Very compliant and very helpful thank you. I had found Spear and Jackson as the brand holder , but not that page.

It does appear a lost cause as a retail item, maybe a pleading e mail to customer services will get a result.

Jon it looks the same and it could be the catalogue No is more complicated than the number they emboss on the punch. Thanks anyway.

Regards Clive

Pleading e mail sent . If not then Buck and Hickman at 50% of the price of a whole new punch.

Just make a new tip out of silver steel and harden and temper it. Or sharpen the old one by holding it in your battery drill and contra-rotating against the bench grinder wheel.
