WANTED - 1 3/8" punch

[Rocco]

No, this isn't a for sale post, but I figured it should go here.

 

I'm in the market for a 1- 3/8" round punch for chasing light sockets.  I have the one with "wings" and these are removable and so do the job, but not well.   It leaves a rough edge where the wings used to be.    I have an extra "D" socket punch to trade and or can do cash.   I've  been getting more requests for reworking theater marquees and would like a good punch.  I used to have one but it must have gotten lost somewhere along the line.  

 

Thanks all!

is it a true 1 3/8"?  I found a couple in my stash that are 1 5/16"

I checked and yes, it's a true 1 3/8" punch.   The one on the left is the 1 3/8" and the one on the right is 1 5/16" (which I forgot that I had).  The blue tape in the photo is holding the "wings" for the punch.   IIRC the 1 5/16" was for small glass housings.   

 

Anyway, still looking.   Will trade a good D punchor cash or other sign "stuff".

so you need the one on the left with the wings? you didnt mention that. I DO have that style in  1 3/8"

What I need is a plain 1 3/8" round punch without "wings".   The one shown in the photo is the one I have with "wings" for an older style snap-in socket.   While it does the job, it leaves a pair of burs after punching the hole.

Looking for the socket punch with the wings if anyone has an extra, or one they no longer need.

The pack-rat portion of my tired old brain is yelling at me to not sell the punch.  However I haven't used it in at least four years.   A new D punch from Signcomp is ~$450 so make me a reasonable offer and you would pay shipping from 08002.
