Great punch tool, works awesome on thicker hide and thin ones, easy to use and grip.

I am very pleased with all of the quality features of this hand operated hole punch. Many of the hole punches I have used in the past have been sharpened hollow tubes that cut through the material forcing the “hole” up through the tube while pressing the sharpened edge against a flat surface (usually of solid metal). This often results in a slightly frayed edge on the hole where part of the sharpened edge didn’t quite touch the surface. And this only gets worse with more use because the blade gets dulled by being pressed against the supporting surface. This hole punch operates differently: the beveled punch head cuts through the material at a dual angle (which helps maintain a straight edged cut) and then pushes the “hole” down through a matching hole in the supporting surface in a scissoring action and forcing the waste “hole” freely out of the tool. Each of the “punch” sizes has a matching “hole” that avoids any metal to metal contact - the punch slides freely through the matching hole - thus preventing any dulling of the punch caused by the working of the tool itself. There is, also, an adjustable throat depth guide to keep a series of holes spaced exactly the same distance away from the guide edge. This is an exceptionally well designed tool.

I wind up having to punch holes in many things and many different materials. This device works like a champ! Its easy on my hands. Works on many materials for me: paper, leather, cloth, cardboard. Ive switched out my older punch for this one.

This Hole punch device works great for putting holes into most anything that needs a hole. Use on Belts, watch bands, cardboard. No instructions with the device on how to use or adjust, took a few minutes to figure it out. it comes with a Allen Wrench to change the hole size plate. very simple to use once you figure out how to operate it.

small enough to store away and easy to use and it does what it does

Trying leather work then you need this. Works great for many projects.

Im sure Im not the only person who put on a few pounds during the pandemic. So, the choice is, resign to reality and purchase a new belt until you can shed those extra pounds, or just give yourself a little grace with this little beauty and save some money until youre back in your pre-pandemic shape. I had several belts that were perfect, so I really didnt want to buy all new ones. (They are expensive, after all). So, with this, I can just add an extra hole for a bit while we get back in shape. No need to buy new belts, just customize them. This is also great for kids. This will help my son be able to use his church belt for a few extra months, if not a year just by giving it a few additional adjustment sections. One use case that a lot of folks dont consider is adjusting your shoelace patterns. There are some athletic shoes, particularly running shoes, that have unusual lace patterns that can bite across the top of my foot. With this, I can create new shoelace patterns in between the existing holes that allow the laces to avoid the sensitive areas. Also great for hockey skates, but youll need to reinforce those with rivets. All in all, this is a great little item that has paid for itself already!

This is a nice hole punch tool. I tested it on cardboard and leather and it left clean holes in both cases. The only thing Id ding it for is that it came with no instructions so it was a bit trial and error to figure out

This punch came in a plain, recyclable box, with poly-foam padding (not recyclable). In some ways, this punch is much better than the cheap punch I purchased at a local hardware store several years ago. The V blades definitely make holes cleaner, and more easily than the straight style of my older one. While the depth guard makes it very handy to make consistently spaced holes, it also limits how deep the punch can go. Still, it should be fine for 90% of the belts out there. My only complaint is that it seems like a slightly complicated device in its different adjustment options. I figured it out (I think), but a set of illustrated directions is needed.

This leather punch is beautifully designed and heavy-duty, but comes with ZERO INSTRUCTIONS. If you arent a cobbler or other leather-working professional, it is NOT INTUITIVE. The punch arrived without a single piece of paper inside, NOTHING to explain how the different parts work. Yes, the Amazon sales page has diagrams , but again, unless you are familiar with this kind of tool, the diagrams are incredibly vague. I would like to be more positive, because the craftsmanship is gorgeous, but until I can actually USE it, this is the best I can do.
