Haha........... i saw that too.
OK........... I'll get a legit punch. Although............... to quote Capt., "It's a Fact" that I'll still try the other method too.

I promise you'll thank me. Just remember 2 are better than 1 (holes, that is).Haha........... i saw that too.

I have both and their not the same but close. I like the VIP a little better.is the cov one exactly the same as the vip one?
How long do the carbide screws last before performance degradation?
As a reference, the saddle valves seem only good for about a dozen cartos before it goes south. But...... it was also only $4 bucks.
I'm not concerned about the $40 bucks for a good puncher........ just curious.

Mine's a couple hundred in with no problems. I'm a serial carto changer.
I've had mine for a couple months and it still punches like new.
I've got the vip punch also and have been using it for about 3 months and it still punches like it did the day I got it. Carbide is a really tough material and should last for a long, long time.
Thanks for the info.
Guess carbide tips are similar to my fishing pliers and the cutters. I can go through 10 cheap pliers where the standard cutters die quickly, while my Van Staal pliers continue to rock.

Can't open the link with my phone, will check back later.
Oh my i'm still using the "old skool" saddle valve, time to upgrade soon too!
YIKES!
$40?!?
I can spend a few cents more on each carto, to have the vendor punch 'em for me, and it'll take a while until I've saved up my pennies to pay for that Carto Punch!
I wish the COV one for $14.99 was available, but it seems it's been out of stock for over a month now! How hard is it to get the parts and make those? (I don't mean for ME to make it... I'm lucky if I can make a baloney sandwich and have it come out right... I mean for COV to make it!)
I've been looking for a carto punch for a while now, but just can't bring myself to spend $40! I also haven't had a problem finding pre-punched cartos, so that removes some of the incentive!
Hey... maybe I'll buy a box of 50 Boge cartos, and RENT YOUR carto punch?
How much to rent it for, say... two days? (I may have just come up with a new business concept!! Carto Punch rental!)
I'm not cheap... I'm monetarily efficient.
