Leather Hole Punch & Belt Hole Puncher Easily Punches Perfect Round Holes. Bonus Ruler & Awl Tool. Leather Punch Tool for Watch or Bag Strap, Fabric, Eyelet - Precision Crafting & Professional Results

Nice hole punch, it looks well made and substantial. I use it on tan dyed leather that is between 2.5mm to 2.8mm thick and it goes through that very easily, on odd occasions I need to punch a hole through two layers of tan dyed leather which can be just under 6mm thick and it glides through it with no problem. The punch uses cantilever action which makes it very easy to use. The individual punches are very sharp which helps it cut the hole without much effort and leaves a clean hole. There is one point I have noticed, is the jaws only open 7mm wide, which is the distance between the anvil part and the hole punch tip, so take this in mind if you need to maneuver the punch past other obstacles on your work to get to the position where you need to make the hole.

Excellent quality punch. I use these a lot for my bag making and have gone through many different, inferior punches and this is the best I've had to date. I usually find that the handles bend a little with every use resulting in very little punching power, rendering them useless. This punch however feels very sturdy and punches cleanly and effortlessly every time. My only dislike about any/all punches is that the neck is always to small. There's never enough space to allow the user to make a hole further into the fabric. They are all fine for narrow projects like belts and straps and so on but, if I'm almost at the end of a bag project and would like to add a rivet further away from the edge of the fabric, I generally have to maul the bag with an awl as the punch cannot reach.

I would have liked a smaller hole puncher. There are different sizes and the smallest one there is just about ok for a watch strap. I would imagine that for a belt, it is brilliant.

This Leather Hole Punch makes a really neat hole. It is easy to use, robust, and has a quality feel about it. The inclusion of a ruler to measure the space between holes and an awl to enable you to clear the waste leather from the cutting hole barrels is a nice touch by the seller. It would be good if the cutting hole sizes were already marked on the tool as fitting the stickers to mark the sizes is a bit fiddly, but this is a minor point, as it is not essential to do so. Very happy with the Skilled Crafter Leather Hole Punch.

Have now used it on four belts that had been lying around unused in my wardrobe so will share my experience in using this tool. I found that most belts (male at least) have the holes every 2 cms and are usually 3.5 to 4 mm in size. I learnt with trial and error that the hole in the belt looks better if it is punched from outside in rather than the other way. However it is difficult and not desirable to mark the spot on the outside. So I marked the spot on the inside of the belt with the help of the ruler and a fine marker pen, used the awl to make a small starting hole, then used the 2 mm punch to create a hole from inside out, then turned the belt around and used a 3.5 mm punch to create the desired punch hole through the previously created 2 mm hole. This way had a really good hole which did not spoil the look of the belt on the outside. It can be a bit of a pain to clean the punches but I accidentally found that the black rubber ring in the middle can come out and one can then push the debris through from the various punches thus making the cleaning easier. Hope this helps!!

Have used other 'cheaper' hole punch for leatherwork and struggled to get clean hole, especially in leather over 1mm. Bought this tool and immediately noticed the difference. Punch feels sturdy and well made and makes perfect holes in leather (2 to 3mm). There is no effort required as the tool does the work for you. I would thoroughly recommend to anyone needing to punch holes, don't waste money on cheap alternatives.

The hole punch is very easy to use. The mechanism means that you don't need strong hands, even for very thick leather. The wheel is stiff to turn, but that's a good thing, as it keeps the chosen size punch in place as you depress the handle. I like the fact that it came with two spare anvils, and the awl has also proved useful. For the cost, it seems a very professional bit of kit.

Although fairly well made the punches do not meet the plate square on, so do not punch cleanly and all the way through the leather. It is useable but is not a high quality precision tool.

Wer ein solides Werkzeug sucht um Löcher stanzen zu können, der ist mit dieser Zange perfekt bedient. Einfach zu handhaben, sehr robust, Löcher sehen professionell gemacht aus bei gleichzeitig schonendem Umgang mit dem Material. Sehr zu empfehlen!

La herramienta es de buena calidad. Sin embargo es una herramienta para uso de manualidad, NO la recomiendo para uso rudo. Yo corté materiales rígidos como vaqueta, piel y similar, y la perforadora se dañó.

Super product

This leather hole punch is fantastic, and so is the customer service from Skilled Crafter. The first punch I received had been tampered with during transit, I'm assuming by someone in the USPS system. The shipping package had been ripped opened, as was the box that the pliers come in, so the punch and accessories were all over the place. When I tried to punch a couple of holes in deer hide and a belt, I was completely disappointing. Out of several attempts, I only got one nice, clean hole. I contacted Skilled Crafter and I swear to high heaven, I've never received such quick and great attention, and courtesy! Within a few hours they had sent a replacement punch, and I had it by the next day! And guess what, it works just as described in their listing! I've punched holes I didn't even need, just because I could. I took one belt and punched a new hole between every existing hole, and it not only added a bit of a design element, but it allows me to actually buckle it where I need it instead of having to wear it too tight (or too loose, which totally defeats the purpose of a belt, right?) I've used it on lightweight deer hide as well as the leather belt that was 2.25mm thick. The punch works beautifully! I have small hands with not an overwhelming amount of strength, but I'm able to use it with very little effort. Well constructed, easy to use, and great customer service.... I have to recommend this Skilled Crafter tool. I plan to use it in a new venture I'm starting, and it will be used a lot. I expect it to hold up very well, but if anything changes, I'll update this post. I'd like to thank Ella, the lady at Skilled Crafter who went above and beyond to make sure she had a happy customer! Thank you!

Fantastic product
