ABN Hollow Punch Kit Leather Punches Tools Hole Punch Set Gasket Punch Set Gasket Cutter 3/16 to 1-3/8in (5-35mm)

Tried cutting small fleece circles. They never tell you what kind of surface to use. Started with wood, but just pressed into the wood and dented the fabric. Plastic on the wood finally did cut fabric after it cut through the plastic, but now have to buy as much plastic as fabric. Tried soft or thin metals, but same as wood and plastic. Tried a heavy duty cutting mat, thicker than quilter style mats, and again the fabric would not cut unless you hit really hard; then it cuts through the mat and uneven cuts on fabric. Tried metal similar to door hinge, not too hard, not too soft. Notta. After a few hits, the punch rolls inwards. Now a nice little biscuit cutter with non-threatening edges, other than the dough would catch up in the rolled up edge of the punch. Why cant someone make a punch that cuts fabric! You can cut metal and leather, but not fabric. I just dont get it!

VERY NICE GOOD VALUE

I bought this set after buying a different set for a slightly lower price. I returned the previous product because the large dies were very difficult to work with--I had to pound for such a long time to get a cut, it was ridiculous. It seemed like 1 quarter or side of the large cut was always more difficult and I was lucky to get a clean cut. I even had my other half try and he didnt have much more like than I did. SO, I returned that set and bought this one. This one is definitely a studier set and very nice construction. But, Im having the same issue with the larger dies--this set is much better, but similar issues. Im guessing the larger dies dont receive full force since they are large than the actual pounding device. Not really sure. Im happy with the set and I like it and am keeping it, but I find it hard to give 5 stars for something that doesnt work perfectly. With that said, Id still recommend this product, so I dont want that to deter your decision to purchase if large dies arent your concern.

This is a very well made tool and is also very well thought out. The spring loaded center punch makes it easy to center and the handle is very ergonomic.

It is a metric set with the inch equivalents. However the inch sizes are WAY off, as there is no metric and inch equivalents, for example, if you have a 6mm that shows a 1/4 being its equivalent, then 4 quarters is one inch BUT 4 6mm is only 24mm and an inch is exactly 25.4mm so 25.4 divided 4 is 6.35mm. This may not be an issue for you but for me it is unacceptable. When an items description states something I EXPECT it to be accurate and not misleading or just false. There is actually a federal law that forbids this practice, called false advertising. The pin pointer in the center is WAY off and not centered. The edge of the actual cutter itself is rolled or curled and not sharp at all. This is not a leather hole punch, or a punch that you can use for anything that requires a hole in it, meaning it cuts discs out of material. would not recommend that you cut chip board at a maximum thickness of 1/16. Anything with a thickness is either going to get torn or stretched out at the holes edge due to the angle that the cutter is sharpened at. The case has poor latches that dont stay closed. Furthermore, once a disc has been cut you have to disassemble it so you can remove it from within the cutter. Very poorly designed and quality is nothing short of junk. Returning this for all the above reasons, especially the false description By the way, ABN (the brand) actually stands for Auto Body Network...not a leather tool company, but sounds as though the are a Automobile Body tool manufacturer and trying to sell this as something it was clearly not meant to do.

When working on a 96 yr old machine no gaskets can be bought... all must be made. This punch set worked great for what I needed.

The product is very good. Has a good selection of sizes fo a gasket punch kit. Good value for the money. Worked great for my needs
