Well designed and easy to use. I was able to punch multiple holes in my belt without any issues.

Very nice little hole puncher. I was not sure what this little inexpensive thing can do because, I am so used to the heavy duty cast iron framed office grade hole punches. I thought I was going to jam this little punch for sure the first time I used it. I was very surprised by it. It was very crisp and effortlessly went though an 8-page stack of high grade printer paper. Highly recommended.

I received these punches and after noticing some rough edges, I took a small curved edged needle file and removed them on the cutout of the punches.  each punch is sharp and the size they are supposed to be on the inside of the hole opening.  I like them well enough and will use them on plastic and leather and some paper projects.  For the money they are fine and will add to my tool collection.  I give them four stars for now and if they perform better I will return to this review and up the stars to a 5.  The pouch is sound and needed a marker to cover some writhing I didn't need to see.

This company goes the extra mile to write you a letter and even sends a "how to use" PDF so that you get the best life out of the punch. They teach you a handy trick to keep the punch sharp and in great working order.. In fact the PDF arrives ahead of the punch so that you are ready to go once it arrives. A very personal company that is still small enough to show great customer care. I would recommend them to anyone needing a crafter leather hole punch. And it does punch a lot of other material including cloth. They also direct you to a video they have had a crafter make that shows the punch in action....a great buy, we are very happy with it.

I used the punch to put in extra holes in my belts ( I shrunk a little).  It did the job easily even though the belt leather is quite tough.

This punch is awesome! I never have a problem punching through 8-10 sheets of regular paper. I also regularly punch cardstock with this. I originally ordered it to be able to punch through laminated cardstock which it does a great job of! Buy one. You won't regret it!

Purchased this hole puncher to adjust my Italian expensive belts and it worked very well! Very satisfied with this tool. It can be used for different size holes, easy to operate.

I use these both on a heavy-bag and for sparring (because 16oz boxing gloves are ridiculous in size, and I don't want to buy them.

They work great on the bag, protecting my knuckles just enough but still letting me feel the impact in a direct way. They are showing no signs of wear after 6 uses.

Oh, and the big thing with these, they have a hole for the thumb to go through. That works great, considering I have very large hands and don't want my thumb bunched up (this was severe with other heavy-bag gloves).

The price seems reasonable considering their versatility, comfort, and durability.

I must have punched a dozen holes in leather belts and leather watch bands in the past week.  i chose a hard rubber sheet to put the leather on and hit the punch with a mallet.  Depending on the thickness and the kind of leather, a little experiment of punching from either side of the leather with graduating strength should produce satisfactory, though not professionally finished, results. It is a simple, inexpensive but sturdy tool that will last.  I do not know how it compares with other hand tools.  However, as I had a fair number of round holes to make, this did the job and saved me money.

This punch is very heavy duty, extremely well made. Cuts the holes into heavy leather belts easily and with clean orecision. I would have expected to pay at least twice as much for this quality.

Very good 2.5 inch punch.  Using it now to make Christmas ornaments for my Sunday School Jesse Tree.  Much cleaner cut than scissors.

This complete alpha-numeric punch set is made from hardened steel. Each character is in a round field. These punches are very good for leather, thin metal, or wood, and a distinct character is formed with minimal hammering.

using it to punch holes through plastic gift cards. it's horizontal/parallel to the edge. width of the hole works for comb binder rings.

great center punch. I've been using it to mark the centers of solid steel rivets. I would recommend it to anyone in need of a center punch.

Finally had some time to try them out.  The description of these punches makes it look like they create open holes in the leather.  They do not except on the surface.  They create slits that are just big enough for passage of needles for large threads.  The slits also contract if you wait too long to sew them up.  To minimize that, open the slits to holes by punching through again from the backside (if accessible).  The punches have been working quite well for me with up to 150 denier nylon threads.  Haven't broken any of the pins yet.  Make sure to hold the punch square to the leather and hit the punch square with the hammer (5 to 6 oz tack hammer works well).  Use a soft backstop, like a scrap piece of white pine because the pins of the punches have to penetrate about 1/4 inch past the backside of the leather to open up the hole to full pin diameter.  Bought another set tonight.

Bought it to hold up my punching bag. It works well and hasn't started warping after a few boxing workouts.
