12Piece Leather Hole Punch Set with a Free Cutting mat,Leather Tool,Leather Hollow Punch Set, Round Hole Punch Set,Cut Leather Rubber Paper Soft Material

This set is an incredible value for the price. The punches but cleanly with minimal effort. The organizer makes it easy to find the punch you want and to determine the right size. The included punching board is a nice touch.

I am pleasantly surprised by the quality of this inexpensive punch set. I can't speak to the durability of the steel, but these are well sharpened and true and will serve adequately for domestic and light shop use for the foreseeable future. Glad I bought them.

These leather punches work well for making felt washers (I'm another grand piano person). With a little practice, you'll be able to punch the center hole concentrically. A heavier hammer seems to work better, but there's a possibility of punching through the backer if you have a heavy hand. This punch set is easy to use. They're easy to align and so far, I have not distorted the cutting edges. These are comfortable to hold so that makes the design good.

I purchased this punch set because I reload black powder cartridges from the 1860s to 1890s, which often need an overpowder wad to balance the load and provide for inert filler on top of the powder. You can purchase pre-cut wads from specialty suppliers, but only in the most popular calibers, and for a price that becomes burdensome if you shoot a lot. One can purchase cork or other vegetable fiber sheets from most any craft store for low cost, and with this inexpensive punch set make your own wads. The provided punches will cover most popular calibers (0.25", 0.32", 0.43", 0.45", 0.50", 0.577", 20 gauge and 12 gauge). I have punched out hundreds of 0.577" wads and found no significant diminishing of sharpness or ease of use. Since the cutting edge is ground from the outside, it will be relatively easy to sharpen on a belt sander/grinder if you ever need to sharpen the punch cutting edges. One thing to note is that the provided cutting mat will get you started with perhaps 20 - 50 wads or holes but you will need a sheet of plastic or wood (cutting board material works well) as a cutting surface if you wish to cut many wads or holes. If you are making wads, it is helpful though not strictly necessary to have a short length of dowel to push the wads out of the punch bore. All in all this is a good product and excellent value for the money.

Great quality at a fair market price

Great quality and work very well.

Very good quality. Great set for making custom gaskets. I used to punch wholes in tractor fuel tank impact stripe to fit tank hold down bolts. Worked great. Clean accurate cuts through the material.

These punches are nice and sharp The pad is small but very useful. I put the punch in a vise, put the material to be punched on the cutting edge and hit it with a rubber mallet. Works much better than the traditional way of hitting the punch into the material. These are steel so wipe them after using and put some oil on them to make sure they don't rust. I would buy again in a minute.
