Hi Noel,

>     Prong-closing punches are too steeply sloped to work on tube
>     settings. 

    I haven't found that to be the case at all, at least not if you mean
    the ones that Rio sells: . I use these punches on all round bezels 
and
    tube settings. 

    On the other hand, you could always modify the punches if necessary.
    If you filed down the rim, the slope would become less steep.
