> 24 hourThis is a great tool for the price, very versatile. You can easily change the punch size with the spin wheel and by modifying the punch hole cut through. Note, this came with no instructions so you need to know what you are doing, however it is not difficult to use. There are 4 main components on the tool. The size selector punch which spins around, you have to open the handle to allow it to spin. Once you select you simply tighten the nut on the left side to keep it from slipping out. Then you need to change the hole punch plate to be the same diameter as the punch you selected. There is an allen wrench on the handle to loosen the screw to turn the plate. Then simply get a belt, find an existing hole, check the punch size, then adjust the limiter arm which slides forward by loosening the screw. This allows you to punch the belt at the same distance from the edge. Spacing of the holes you are on your own to measure. Recommend this tool for anyone punching leather.

> 24 hourIts not like I was looking for a leather punching tool. I already my fathers vintage leather punching tool like was sold in leather craft magazines and hadnt thought about upgrading until I saw this tool. First, I notice the angled cutters on each of the punches. Then I notice the ram effect for compound leverage. There is a throat depth adjustment of up to 20mm and a spring-loaded return-to-open handle. The largest hole size it will punch is 4.5mm. I dug out my old leather belt that is 3-4mm thick and punched a few holes. The prong of the buckle is too large to fit in that 4.5mm hole, so I punched another hole next to it to elongate the size of the hole and those 2 holes together allowed the prong to slide through the belt strap. Other belts had prongs small enough to easily fit a 4.5mm hole. The smallest hole size is 2.0mm, which I would explore for stitching holes. An adjustable anvil at the bottom of the stroke is rotated to accommodate each hole / punch size. It is adjusted with the hex key which is stored in the handle.

> 24 hourTook a minute to figure out how to change the punch head. But once that was done everything was a breeze from there. Not your old dads leather punch where you need pounds of pressure. Nice hard squeeze and the extra hole was in the belt. Six different hole sizes to make it easy to punch any size hole you need. Feels good in the hands. Seems petty four stars due to no instructions. Think for people that have never used one instructions would be nice.

> 24 hourI recently decided that I needed to lose weight and managed to drop 20+ pounds. As a result, I have twice needed to punch new holes in my belts but lacked a leather holepunch so when I saw this one I decided to give it a shot and am very happy with it. I have used it already and it works really nicely. The grips are soft, non slippery, and spring loaded. It was actually delivered in, what I consider, excessive protection -- basically in styrofoam that was carefully form-fitted to the tool. It fits in the styrofoam so tightly it is actually a little difficult to remove (I like when companies care about their products getting to their customers in prestine condition).

> 24 hourNice tool. Love the variety of sizes it has. I have one already but has been misplaced and needed another one. I have an Apple Watch and I want my son to wear it so I figured to go ahead and just hole punch into a band to endure a good fit. Plus I to make sure he doesn’t lose it. Great for wide variety of things.

> 24 hourI was pleasantly surprised by the quality of this hole punch. It seems very well made and sturdy. The jaws and punches are designed so that the rotating wheel is automatically centered when the punch is pressed down. The bottom plate is adjustable so it can match the selected hole size and be set to line up correctly with the punches as well. It also has an adjustable depth gauge and an adjustable stop to prevent the punch from opening too far and accidentally changing the selected punch. Perhaps other rotating punches have some of these same features, this is the first one Ive owned so I couldnt say - but I can say Im quite pleased with this one. I tested it on a small strip of tooling leather I had lying around and learned about all of its features. It makes holes of six different sizes - from 2.0mm to 4.5mm in increments of 0.5mm. Match the punch and bottom plate correctly and you can make some nice clean holes with this punch.

> 24 hourGood leather punch! The hole puncher cuts cleaner than most other tools! The cutter is on the flat end and not the actual puncher tube, so the bits if leather don’t get stuck, and the hole cuts much cleaner! Easy to align to the material to have precise holes. The pliers have good leverage to punch through tough leather, and I have also used it on canvas. Great tool to have in the toolbox! Looks very well made, and easy to use. Great price!

> 24 hourIncredible! Like punching through butter! Takes the work out of punching. I was more than pleasantly surprised with the sharp cut through .085 leather right out of the box. Overall, the tool is heavy and well built. The handles are hefty, comfortable and operate with such ease its amazing. It feels good to squeeze this punch and watch how easy it goes through the heavy material. I think you could punch holes all day and not hurt your hands. Ive had several leather punches over the years and never really had much luck with them. I always resorted to punch and die style, but this is so much easier and takes up less space, too. Theres even a little holder in the handle for the allen wrench. The wrench stays out of the way and you can keep it stored there during use without any obstruction. Not to mention trying to keep it together in your tool box. Brilliant design addition! I wish more tools would do this. Small problem - no instructions included. If you look closely there are numbers on the top punch wheel and numbers on the lower plate. Youll simply loosen the screws and turn the hole device and then match up the same size hole in the plate. Simple but it took me a minute to figure out. Instructions would be good for someone using a tool like this for the first time. Im impressed! I hope it stays sharp as it doesnt appear you can get a replacement wheel for the holes if they need sharpening. Unfortunately, that makes it disposable. I dont do leather work on a constant basis, so I think Ill have this for a long time. My Dad does leather working as a consistent hobby and he was so impressed I had to leave this with him and buy another for myself. The price is great for a hand tool that takes the work out of punching. Must have for any tool box!
