Works as expected August 30, 2009 R. Rivera (USA!) 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
I've only used this product once, but it did what I needed it to do, so... what else can I say? It punches holes in leather, sold?

Arrived ahead of time and great tool. The added sizes is a great plus for the price.
Not as good as it should be May 28, 2009 P. Tsao (Los Angeles) 4 out of 4 found this review helpful
I got this through Amazon because of the good reviews. I bought this so i could use it to punch holes for my belt. However, i am a bit disappointed after receiving this product. here is why:
Presentation (poor)
1) The item was shipped and enclosed by a plain white box. No instruction and no claim of ownership from anyone or any company.
2) The item was oily and it looked used when i took it out of the box. Upon closer inspection, the craftmanship is not good (sharp edges, handle pattern differs one side to another). I spent 2 mintues with Clorax wipes just to clean it up.
3) I tried to switch to a smaller punch bit on this tool. Well, it took me another 10 minutes because all of bits were already rusted somewhat and i had to use a wrench + WD40 to remove the bits and clean the rust.
Usability (average)
4) Like i said, i bought this to punch a hold on my leather belt. Well, it didn't punch all of the way through the 1st time around. I had to use extra force the 2nd time around and still didn't completely do the job. Not sure if i did it wrong or the tool just wasn't sharp enough.
This tool is simply no "Professional" according to my experience. Hope my review here would help others who are looking at this tool.
Deceiving looks March 19, 2009 Ronald Money 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I purchased this punch, because from the picture it looked like it was really well built. After receiving the tool, I can confirm that it is built like a tank, but functions about as well as a one legged mule. The punches are very difficult to remove from their stations. The tool and punches were full of grit and grime. It is almost impossible to get the punches to center up on the brass base. They don't contact the base evenly when compressed. And lastly, it takes tremendous effort to punch a hole in even the lightest leather. According to other reviewers, they think a lot of their punch. Maybe I got a dud, because I would NOT recommend this tool to anyone.
Good Solid Punch January 21, 2009 allcarol (Brooksville, FL) 4 out of 4 found this review helpful
This punch is made from heavy steel and creates the best holes of the several different kinds I have used previously for leatherworking. The different sizes screw in to the handle and are a bit of a pain to screw in and out when changing. Luckily, I have one size that I use for most everything so I don't have to change it often. I use this mostly for horse tack that is made out of very heavy leather. A considerable amount of force must be applied to punch through this heavy leather. This is typical for all leather punches except for the kind of punch that you strike with a mallet, which can only be used on items that can be laid flat. Overall a great punch for the money!!!
