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

It takes strength and a lot of squeezing pressure to punch holes in a quality mens leather belt, which typically has 2 layers of leather. All the punches I had bought in the past were not strong enough for the job and would bend out of shape very quickly. I had nearly given up, but decided to give this one a try thanks to Amazons return policy. But this one is a keeper. It is very well-made with sturdy metal parts. I punched 2 dozen clean holes in heavy leather belts with relative ease.

Took 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.

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!

Incredible! 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!

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

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.

Nice 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.

Nice to have on hand when needing to make adjustments to belts!
