Punch/Plunger Users- Hippotech Quadra Punch Question

[TechMetalMan]

Anyone of you guys ever used this particular punch?

I am interested because it has different sized punches. Does anyone know if it has a larger size or if it starts as the generic sized punch and simply has three smaller blades?

Does it work well?

Don't rightly know myself; I've got a punch but haven't used it yet...hmmm

Looks like a good deal, if you punch. I mostly use a homemade one from a .30-06 shell casing, but the smaller sizes in the one you are looking at would work better on smaller sticks. I punch approx. 25-30% of the sticks I smoke. For just under $15, it's worth having for future needs, given the four sizes.

Thats a pretty cool looking punch. Ill have to consider picking that up.

I punch about 80% of my cigars. I just like the convience of putting the punch on my key rigng and always having it just in case.

Not a very good pic, but this is the one I use. It feels heavy in the hand, which is something I look for, and is spring loaded. Once you make the cut, you press the little ball and it retracts automatically and ejects the plug at the same time. I've been using it for over a year now and it still remains sharp. I got it from Uncle Mickey if your interested. It is one size though.

I seem to remember a punch like that getting a good review here on CS, you might want to see if its still around.

That's exactly what I use as well. I just think one with different sizes (including a larger size) would come in handy.

Thanks Baric- I'm gonna search around.

Very cool. I use a 5mm and 8mm (I think that's the sizes) punches now for 90% of what I smoke. It would be nice to have them all together, too bad it's out of stock.

Looks good... especially if you like the punch cut like I do. If you pick one up, let me know if you like it
