I need to buy a number punch set, 10mm (3/8"), figures. I have done the usual hunting about and there is a wide range of prices. Rolson can supply number and letter sets for under £20 but buying the same items from suppliers of BGS (a German make) requires two separate sets and together they cost £47.98 with free post.
I am very aware that there are great differences in quality and it's often to buy best, buy once which is my version of a quote I might have heard.
Does anyone have any recommendations please?

Number punch set
Re: Number punch set
Hello
BGS makes very high quality tools, all my Withworth (BSW) scockets and spanners are BGS, because FACOM doesn't make any BSW tool.

Re: Number punch set
Depends what material you are stamping and how often. Hard material and cheap stamps won't last long.
I too believe in the adage "buy it cheap, buy it twice".
If you are only likely to use them twice a year get the cheap ones.
I have a set of Rolson gasket punches that get infrequent use, still perfectly adequate for the for what I need.

Re: Number punch set
Thank you gentlemen.
I think I will be ordering a set of the BGS ones as I would rather have a set that could be relied upon.
