Does anybody make or sell the reed punch that F&R Farrell used to sell?


  I have one made by Bill Rommel which works well.  I forget what i paid for it but it was 
inexpensive, less than $30, i'm sure.  Check Bill's website.  You will also need a reed wrench, which
Bill can also supply.
  It helps one to be able to see the work that you are doing so it's best to elevate it Bill's punch 
to eye height.  I use a cinder block and sit down at a workbench/table (with good lighting and 
magnification.
  I bought this rather than the Seydel reed replacement pliers tool because i already had a full 
compliment of tools.  If I needed harp tools, i would have seriously considered the Seydel tool
because i am under the impression that it works well.
Ron - sorry for the wacky question marks which i suspect will appear in my reply.
