Inwell Leather Hole Punch, Belt Hole Puncher for Leather, Heavy Duty Leather Punch Tool with 6 Solid Holes, for Belts, Fabric, Crafts, Card, Watch Bands, Pet Collars, etc

Nice and heavy duty compared to my last pair I had. Good locking mechanism, would recommend.

Its 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.

Good 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!

Thank you I was able to keep using some of my sentimental belts.

Great punch tool, works awesome on thicker hide and thin ones, easy to use and grip.

Trying leather work then you need this. Works great for many projects.

This punch came in a plain, recyclable box, with poly-foam padding (not recyclable). In some ways, this punch is much better than the cheap punch I purchased at a local hardware store several years ago. The V blades definitely make holes cleaner, and more easily than the straight style of my older one. While the depth guard makes it very handy to make consistently spaced holes, it also limits how deep the punch can go. Still, it should be fine for 90% of the belts out there. My only complaint is that it seems like a slightly complicated device in its different adjustment options. I figured it out (I think), but a set of illustrated directions is needed.

This leather punch is beautifully designed and heavy-duty, but comes with ZERO INSTRUCTIONS. If you arent a cobbler or other leather-working professional, it is NOT INTUITIVE. The punch arrived without a single piece of paper inside, NOTHING to explain how the different parts work. Yes, the Amazon sales page has diagrams , but again, unless you are familiar with this kind of tool, the diagrams are incredibly vague. I would like to be more positive, because the craftsmanship is gorgeous, but until I can actually USE it, this is the best I can do.

This is easy to use and makes punching a hole a fairly easy job. However, it is not easy to change the size. I couldnt figure out how to, until I went to others reviews where they said you have to unscrew the whole thing. Thats just not logical. The dial wont turn to change size as it is. Fortunately for me, I think the size it is pre-set on is probably the only one Id use anyway. It is about the standard small size for a belt. If you have larger holes in your belt then this might not work for you. It seems heavy duty and would get a 4 if I could change the sizing more easily.

Order this hole puncher to secure a thick water resistant cotton tarp around my chickens coop using nylon cable ties. Instead of using another sharp instrument, which causes ragged tears, this punch allowed me to make the holes exactly where needed and through multiple layers of material. The holes are neat and there are no loose threads visible. I can see this working well with vinyl, plastic and other soft materials for a multitude of uses.
