I need to cut half inch diameter circles in leather. But I have never used a punch. Do I need a hammer?

These types of punches are best hit with a soft-face mallet if you intend to do a lot of leatherwork. It will keep the end of the punch from being squashed into a mushroom shape.

Yes, you will need a hammer, preferrable a rubber or plastic one. You will also need to sharpen the punches so they will cut better. I have used several of these punches to cut leather.

Yes, this style of punch is designed to be hit with a hammer to drive it through the materiel you are punching.

Yes you will need a hammer to pound the punch through the leather. These punches are great and work very well with leather and even word.

I sent these punches back. I needed to cut holes in vinyl banner material, and all that happened was that the punch itself deformed (the sharp edge rounded over). I did use a hammer to punch

Normaly you dont need a tool. Just bend the plastic a little, and the will pass the smal knobs.

No. They are too thick and inflexible to use a hole-punch with. You'd have to drill the hole.

no clue- I was attempting to punch thru 2 layers of cotton/ one of canvas. Tried with rubber mallot as well as my claw hammer before giving up and resorting to buying a single punch from Tandy

Hi, I would imagine so. I've used this excellent punch on all kinds of material especially fairly thick leather. Thanks, Bill

I don't know if you can add any larger size punches. I use a block of wood under the gasket material. Do not use metal, you will ruin the punch.

There are two small round discs that can be punched out if desired. I used the round end of a ball pen hammer and they came out cleanly. They are a little large but I think I am OK as I am putting a layer of gravel at the bottom. You could drill smaller holes.

I use these on harness leather . These hole punches are a must have and work great in conjunction with a leather wheel hole punch.I recommend a kitchen vinyl plastic cutting board as an additional to act as an punch board.----I hope this info helps you

Depends how big the circle is . If its the size of your fist or smaller then you want a circle drill bit attachment . If its for large circles a jigsaw . The reciprocating saw is a messy straight cutter good for pruning trees and cutting things in half . Jig saw will sit flatter on a surface and be more accurate for following a shape

you should not need to use an impact. mine works fine with hand tools. make sure the pivot end that turns is oiled and turning free

If you want to use sheets of sandpaper get a square palm sander. they are made for tearing sheets into 1/4s and have clips to hold it.

It would be hard to use this on leather. This is more for paper. They sell leather punches on Amazon. (I bought one)

In my experience, these punches will not work with aluminum 1/16 inch thick. They are so poorly made they break. On the plastic pack containing them, it plainly states that they are leather punches.

No. A small tool was included with mine but a punch will ensure better contact.

As far as I know this revolving punch will just punch thru leather, because when I was a kid I was in a leather craft club and I used a revolving punch to punch thru leather and other leather craft stuff.

Use a 1/4 0r 1/8 inch punch depending on what you are punching. I use the 1/4 ch on thick paper to crochet around.
