OWDEN Professional 6pc Leather Hollow Punch Set, Size 1.0-5.0mm, Black, Minimalist Style, Alloy Steel, With Free Mini Cutting Mat

Great tools. Very sharp and well made. Would recommend and buy again. Thanks

Sharp and solid

I am not a leather worker or hobbyist. But I am a tool snob and I like precision and versatility, which I am willing to sacrifice for convenience. I needed to add some holes to some nicer leather watch bands I got for my new Galaxy Watch4. The rotary punches I looked at all seemed too big and awkward, with hole sizes starting at 2.5 and going up rapidly from there. Fine for belts, but not watch bands. Also, I wasn't convinced they would punch precisely while squeezing the grips, or that they would be sharp enough to cut a clean, straight hole. So I was happy to stumble across this set. First, it has a great range of sizes. Some big enough for belts and shoes, but plenty on the small size for watch bands. I ended up needing both the 1.5 and 2 mm for two different bands, but there were still sizes above and below those in this set. The best part is how cleanly and straight they cut their holes. Just a few strong taps with a nylon face brass hammer and they were through - even on a thick double-layer leather and suede band. The holes were perpendicular, with clean edges, and the punch-out easy to clear. As a bonus, this set takes a lot less storage space than a rotary punch, and comes with a matt that will be handy for other things. Even has a vinyl storage pouch. No oils, corrosion, or odd smells, either. Just a nice, quality set of punches for a very fair price.

Had a men’s watch with a thick leather watch strap. I needed to add a hole. The results were amazing- the appearance of the new hole may even surpass the way the original holes were made! I used the second smallest (men’s watch), which leaves me to think the options are versatile with this kit! Hammered twice, to be safe- but the tools are so sharp, it even when into the included mat a little. So glad I purchased this. Will be great for belts, purses, very handy little kit!

I needed to punch a 1mm hole in a watch strap. The all in one tools don't offer sizes this small and typically start at 2mm or more. The 1mm punch worked very well and I was able to punch the hole in the strap perfectly. These may not be as convenient but they do what they are supposed to do.
