Ski Boot Punching Tool

Great tool

My boot fitting tool box is now complete!

The tool that changed my (ski) life

Files and shims, done that. Dremel tool, that too. But a punch? Now we're talking. This tool has literally changed the ski life of my family. Never did I think it would be so easy to make my boots fit so well. Nicely done Patriot!

Off label use is brilliant

While I do have quirky ski boot issues, my real problem was with the heels of my heavy duty hiking boots. They are solidly built, with rubber rands and leather uppers. All I needed was 1mm. I've watched less skilled boot "fitters" blow it and overstretch the boots of others. I have long needed spot stretches, and found most people don't know how to do them. So, I finally ordered this tool, and it's perfect. Yes, it relies on my own cautious approach. But I'm satisfied so far with two bump outs and expect to pull off more! Best couple of hundred bucks I've spent in a long time!
