Banner says it ! Have used it to a limited degree on leather (mostly belts) and a couple of light metal (alum.) needs <<< All with EASE. Would recommend to anyone.

I recieved this today and delivered on time in a good box. I was pleasantly surprised at the good quality of this punch. Very well constructed of heavy materials. The design is not new, as I have had one similar for over 50 years which I have taken care of. The handles being padded is an excellent feature. I used on 3\16ā leather and it punched a very clean hole (s). A very good buy in my opinion ,

I bent my old one trying to punch material too heavy for it, and this one for the $$ is excellent. I read reviews first, and one person complained the punch reel only turns one way. Well, I think they all are like that, least my 30 yr. old one was.I LIKE A LOT that this one comes with extra anvils (the bronze pad it pierces against). I don't need this tool often, so an inexpensive one was favored. This one is very good for the price, and I recommend it. Have effortlessly made holes in gasket material since buying it, works well! P.S. Cutting thin material like that is harder for a tool than cutting thick material. Think about trying to cut thin wire with dull dikes...mechanics know.

Towards the end of January I had gastric bypass surgery. Since then I have lost over 50 pounds and taken 6 inches off my waist line. As a result my belts, which I purchased from Bullhide Belts, no longer fit me. They are too long. I bought the Pro -Master hole puncher so I could get a little more life out of my belts.Bullhide Belts are made from a single piece of leather and they are thick. I was a little worried about the hole punch being able to cut through them. Turns out there was no need to worry. I set the head to use the largest punch size, put my belt in it and squeezed, and it easily cut a hole through the belt. I am very pleased with the results and would recommend this device to anyone who needs to resize a belt.

I was looking to replace a 20 year old punch that has worn out. I always try to purchase quality tools because they last longer and normally perform better. I originally was going to purchase a national know brand for around $50, then I read the reviews on the Pro-Master punch and decided to purchase it for half the price. I don't use a punch that often, but like any good tool you want it to perform well when you need it. This tool did not disappoint. When I received the tool it felt very solid and not light weight. The finish is very good quality and I like the fact that it has hard plastic grips. The grips feel very comfortable and solid in you hands. The rotating punch selector clicks in place and does not move once in position. I tried it on various materials, plastic, cardboard and of course leather of different thickness. It performed very well on all materials. On very thin material you might not hear a snap when it punches through, but if the hole did not cut all the way through just rotate the material when the punch is closed and it will very easily cut through the material. Certain material that is paper thin will normally require a slight rotating of the material when punched. My old $50 punch did no better on thin material when it was new 20 years ago. It punches through most material with little effort, I'm guessing because of the design and the quality of the cutting punch. As a added bonus they include and extra replaceable punch plate in case you damage or wear out the existing one, and a screw driver to remove the phillips screw holding the plate in place. I would definitely recommend this product.

Good product, does the job, very easy to use. The pressing plates are plastic with a little circular metal insert. I think they should have made the whole plate metal; but they do give you extras so thatās good. When punching through some fabrics I find it helps to rotate the tool once completely compressed in fabric. This makes the cut clean and complete. Other than that this tool works well.

I actually got this for punching holes in purse straps, not belts or anything. I saw other 'hole punchers' that cost half as much, but this one struck me because of how it is built & boy was I right?! This was super-easy to use & goes thru leather with a quick snip!
Kip T.
If you have ever purchased a hole punch before, you know there are some where the punch wheel will slip when you put too much pressure when you squeeze the handle. The wheel slips and the hole ends up being slanted or off center. This punch is a 'heavy duty' model. You can tell the difference when you pick it up. The whole thing is 'solid'. The punch sizes are very sharp and punch thru leather like butter. The wheel stays in place being held by a locking spring feature. This one came with a grommet tool and a bag of standard size grommets which I've already used to replace some missing grommets on a tarp I have. I've never been one to buy cheap tools. I'm almost 67 and I have tools I bought when I was 13 years old. Spend a extra $5 or $6 and buy this set. You'll have it forever and you will love how it works.
Eclectic Guy
I can recommend this leather punch for the picky! It is well made, and looks like it will last for several years of use. It has punched a number of holes in 1/4' leather effortlessly, and remains sharp. The handles open really wide and they span my hand grip-even with my 2xl hands. A small price to pay for this unit. If you have small hands or short fingers, you might have to use both hands, only because of how far the handles open. It will punch hard leather effortlessly! Most definitely superior to the others you will find here on Amazon. If you are like me, you only need to punch leather holes a few times a year and this will do it. A bit of advice, when you punch leather, always punch through and twist the leather around before releasing the grip. Makes for a clean hole on the first try. As for punching other materials, I'm not able to advise. Enjoy!

This is the only product that I am writing my personal assessment because I admire the business philosophy of the seller in putting customer guaranteed satisfaction as their utmost priority. For me, the quality of the product including the extra accessories, exceeds my expectations relative to the price. For the price that is not so expensive, this product is highly recommended plus the courteous and and tips offered by the seller is more than enough to be satisfied. For my small projects including thick fabrics, vinyl, and synthetic leather, that I need to punch and decorate. This product, functions as I wanted to, I am 100% satisfied.

The leather hole punch is very easy to use and is a solid tool. I expected to have to push hard to get the hole punched through the thick leather but not the case. It took very little effort to use. I ordered because we had a very old leather punch that I could not squeeze hard enough to punch through anything.
David L. Holt
I've only used it once so far, but I'm very impressed with the quality and performance of this tool. I'm happy - a good purchase. My only suggestion/preference would be to add one more smaller punch to the wheel...maybe 1.5mm.
M.A.E.
The quality and workmanship of the Pro-Master Belt Hole Punch goes way beyond my expectations. They are heavy, sturdy metal with comfortable rubber grips. I had tried the day before I ordered them (for over an hour ) to punch holes in two strips of leather to make handles for a basket I had made. These pliars did the job through two layers of leather in one snip! They are the best I have ever seen.Thanks for the surprise gift of eyelet pliars and gold eyelets. They are great quality also. I highly recommend your products.
Andrew Thornton
Buying the right belt is a challenge and then you get it home and find out the holes that are there, do not provide the right level of fit. One of the holes is too tight and the next one is too loose. I would use my drill to make a new hole, it would do the job, but sometimes it would scratch the belt or the hole would be too small/too big. Also, my wife has purses where she'd like the strap adjusted. This device works so well and I can't believe it's taken me this long to purchase one. Do not hesitate to buy this - high quality craftsmanship and it works just great!
MrStacey
This is one tough piece of equipment! It punched holes of different sizes through a variety of leather belts I own with ease! I would not hesitate to recommend these to anyone. Although I did not use it for cloth belts, I have no doubt that it would perform just as admirably.
AWilliams
Wow! This was fantastically easy to use, and the result was amazing.I bought two new belts online but when they arrived, they were a bit too long. With this punch, I was able to make holes with clean edges in just the right size. And I did it in almost no time! Presto change-o, my belts now fit perfectly.
ShopperLiz
Love this hole puncher! Tried on an old belt and it is easy as a breeze! Then tried on the new leather belt and it works perfectly. Love this little tool! Better yet, it is shipped with a surprise present. Thank you for making such a great tool available!
Robin Landry
A-mazing! This tool is so easy to use, and I did it without reading the manual(apparently there's an online one), because frankly, if a tool needs a manual, it's already too complicated. So, for years I've needed this tool--I would ruin steak knives trying to punch extra holes in leather, mostly belts--while this tool does it quickly and easily. It's truly like a knife through butter--way easier than my garlic press which takes two hands.There are a variety of sizes to use. I started with the smallest to make a whole in a belt I could never wear because the girl in the store who sold it to me, assure me I'd need the larger size--hah! Apparently I don't, but all snarkiness aside, I used the smallest hole punch first but my buckled wouldn't go through it so I tried the next size, and then the largest--and yes, you can keep making the whole bigger and it's still a perfectly clean hole. Now my expensive equine belt, which cost as much as three of these hole punches, finally fits. I'm off to do another belt(apparently when you're older and buying horse belts, the young ladies assume that since you're old, you must need the largest size belt, not the bracelet-sized one they are wearing). Next are my stirrup leathers because again, my legs are not as long as they could be--and then my spur leathers because even buying the kids sizes doesn't always work for me.I am more than happy with my purchase and my only regret is that I didn't buy one sooner.
Abe Zettek
A good quality, adjustable leather hole puncher, and free rivet/grommet pliers as well! I have used other adjustable hole punches, and they are built in a flimsy way that prevents proper hole making - this punch does not suffer that problem. The 'cutting edge' of the punch matches up with the base perfectly, allowing clean cuts every time, and the adjustable 'wheel' locks into place without any play - ensuring accurate and clean holes.
JT
Holy cow this is easy to use. If you are in the market for a hold punch, get this one. I hate hole punches- they are cumbersome and you have to bear down to get a hole in anything. This one is a breeze. It was so easy and fun I was looking for things to put holes in!
Annamouse
Terrific hole punch for leather. Within minutes of receipt, I had added new holes to shoe straps and shortened shoulder straps on 4 different purses. SO easy to use even for those with not such a strong grip anymore. Very happy with purchase & seller.
Patricia B
I just used my belt hole puncher on my new pair of sandals and was pleasantly surprised how easy and professionally the results were! The tool seems well made and for the cost of it saved me a special trip to a shoe repair shop and the cost of the service! Look forward to using this in the future! The new holes are the inside ones on the top of the straps in the photo. They look professionally done!
David
Great Quality- the punches lock into place accurately and the grip style gives both comfort and added leverage for those who may have more limited grip strength to punch through heavier materials. Came with a number of related bonus items, so overall a great package.
J. L. Maris
We bought this product because we couldn't find a business near us to put another hole in a designer belt. We were not comfortable sending the belt out so after reading many of the reviews, we opted to purchase this product. It was perfect for what we needed done. The tools that come with it were helpful and sturdy and the end result looks perfect! The cost of the tool was less than 1/2 of what we were quoted to have a professional do it. We are very pleased with this purchase and have already used it on other leather products!
Kris Ackerman
Very easy to use, works like a charm, and they give you everything you need to punch holes in leather by yourself. I was worried I would have to take my dogs harness to a professional. But with this, I got it by myself.
James E Schwanke
I bought this punch to make extra holes in my bridle. I was a bit nervous because itās an expensive bridle and the hole punches I remember as a kid weāre pretty awkward and required a lot of force to work. This one was awesome. The 2mm setting was perfect for small holes on a bridle (dressage) and made clean through and through holes with minimal effort. I should have made this purchase sooner.
Foo Fish
This was perfect. I wanted to cut through some vegan leather, and this was easy to use (even with my tendonitis) and cut perfect holes through multiple layers of vegan leather.. The tool is sturdy and feels very well made. It was exactly what I wanted. The handles were comfortable and the extra leverage it gives with punching through makes it much easier than standard pliers. I was able to make holes wherever I wanted, exactly where I wanted.
Accidentally Awesome
I've been working on projects that require a hole punch (I'd been getting by with making holes with awls for corset eyelets), and I finally decided to get a hole/leather punch that could do a cleaner job. I almost bought a different set because the price on this one was priced so low that I thought it was probably a cheap knockoff or poorly made -- BUT, I'm glad I went with this one. it's awesome. The quality is top notch, the tool feels solid, the mechanism (don't know what that's called) in the middle makes it easy to squeeze. I was thinking of getting a second set because I'm fairly certain that my husband will steal this one from me once he sees it (or he'll confiscate it once he sees what I've done with it).I bought it for making corsets, but I've been testing it all morning on everything I can find. I extended my dog's collar (because she's gotten a little tubby), I added a hole in my hubby's belt (because he's also gotten a little tubby), I punched a hole in a bathroom towel (wish I hadn't done that one).The set also came with an eyelet/grommet setter, which is actually pretty awesome on its own-- and a screwdriver for changing the copper punching plates on the puncher. There are two replacement plates in the kit.I never gave much thought to the process of punching holes (obviously, the kind of person who punches a hole in her bathroom towel is not a big thinker), but there was a PDF instruction sheet which had some great tips on achieving clean hole punches for different materials.This is a really great set. It's hard to find high quality specialized tools these days... so I really do appreciate a good tool when I find it.
Kindle Customer
I got this to put holes in some felt masks that I made for my nephew. The punch made holes easily through three layers of felt at a time. The eyelet tool took me squeezing with both hands to work so if you don't have a lot of strength in your hands that part of the process might be difficult for you. Everything is quality made and heavy duty.
Rickers
This is a sturdy, high quality tool that works simply and effectively. I recently loss some weight and found that my belts were too large. I tried drilling some additional holes in the belts, but they looked horrible and created quite a mess. This tool makes it simple. Just determine where you want to have the hole punched and what size hole you need. The turn the punch wheel and apply pressure. Be sure to wiggle the belt a bit to make sure that the hole is completely punched out and release the tool. You can then remove the little 'doughnut hole' piece of leather that was punched out.
JR
I bought this to make a few holes in different items and it has worked very well. I've used it on my leather belts, leather watch bands and more and it does an excellent job with minimal effort. I highly recommend the punch as it went above and beyond my expectations in quality and functionality.
Raymond T. Hill
I have owned several different hole punches and this one 'TOPS THEM ALL'!!! this hole punch is so easy to use it is well thought out, I punch several hundred holes a week and this tool makes it easy compared to any of the other hand tools that I have used to punch holes in the past.
Tracy Barnett
Hole punch is beefy. The grommet pliers are garbage. The metal folded the second time I tried to squeeze a grommet down. Had to hammer it back into place. Now I only use the grommet pliers at the start (to flare out the metal) and then finish it off with a hammer. The pressure that it takes to get a snug, flush fit of the grommet, collapses the grip of the pliers. I guess you can't have your cake and eat it too with this one...
MarD
I have a thick bulkhide leather belt that I needed to punch an extr hole in. I was skeptical this would do the job but I gave it a shot. This punched a hole through this thick leather like a hot knife in butter. I used a size smaller first, then cleaned it up with the size hole I needed. Iām amazed, it was a great purchase!
K. J. Waters
Bigger than I expected, but with the cushioned handles, even my small hands have no difficulty using this punch. I actually bought it for fabric, so I was concerned how well it would work, as it was intended for leather. By simply placing cardboard beneath the fabric, the punch worked perfectly, even on such a thin material.Very happy with my purchase and haven't even begun to explore what else I may end up using this for, in addition to the bonus tools that came with it.
S. Gargus
Well made tool that punches holes through thick leather belts like a hot knife through butter - or at least a cold knife.I've only used it on a couple of Carhartt belts, which had grown too large for me but were like new, and it punched holes through the relatively thick leather with ease. I suppose the task would depend heavily on one's hand strength, but I don't see how it could get much easier.The construction on the tool seems to be of good quality and I suspect I'll not need another in my lifetime.
Mimi
I really like this hole punch. I donāt only use it for putting holes in leather belts, but also dog collars, purses, jewelry, and harness leather. The punches click into place solidly, the handles are comfortable even for my arthritic hands, and the holes punch clean. The spare anvils are an extra plus.
Anon E. Mouse
not sure what all the other parts that came with it are about, if they're relevant to hole-punching, like the small screwdriver but hardly required any hand strength to punch extra holes in my purse strap and belt (hopefully won't have to do that too often). can't complain.
Adam Boyd
Worked great, good quality, but broke down fairly quickly. I had roughly a 1000+ holes to punch on a costume (9oz and 5oz leather) Worked great for a while, but started clogging after a while. coating the bore with bees wax seemed to help this for a while. One of the punches fell out (not one I was using) but they can be removed/replaced/reinstalled. Stopped completely punching, but a quick twist at the bottom of the punching helped this. Frame bent a bit, but thats probably my gorilla grip. Overall, not bad, worked well for what I needed, but fought me along the way.
C Halver
I am very happy with this hole puncher.Update: I've been using this hole punch for a while now and felt I needed to add an update. I couldn't be happier with it! Its been great for heavy leather, vinyl and the many layers of fabrics I use for making tote bags. When I hear a satisfying 'click' as I'm punching a hole I know it's going to be perfect. I mostly use it for rivets, rivet snaps and magnetic snaps. I take my tools seriously and this is a wonderful tool, especially for the price.
R. L. Jones
Absolutely the premium leather hole punching tool available. It has an easy to select punch size that works on various straps. Includes several replacement parts with screwdriver to change them as required. A grommet tool and grommets were included (nice touch) in the package. Very happy with this product.
WV
I bought this leather hole puncher and have used it countless times and LOVED it. Then, decided to get another one so I could have help with all the hole punching I was doing. I went for a different brand that was maybe $8 cheaper. It was awful!!! Looked almost exactly the same but the grip was so hard and uncomfortable that after just a few hole punches, my hands were aching. The grip on the pro- master is soft and comfortable, the handle is the perfect width for your hand to hold and easily punch, and the cut comes out clean every time. It is a far far superior product than the other knock offs. Donāt go with a different option just Bc it might be a few dollars cheaper!!! This hole punch is so much better thought out and executed. Buy this one!!!!
catcrazy
my last leather punch was over 100 years old... consequently, trying to match it was impossible... i chose to replace it with this one, and i'm very pleased. it fits nicely in your hand, is easier to use than most, and appears very sturdy. of course, nothing replaces practice with any tool, so i always keep a bit of leather or any other material that i might need to punch (especially for grommets), and practice a bit before using the tool on the main event! so far so good. i'll check back in another 100 years...
Mary65RN
Just received this late last week and I could not be happier. I sat on the sofa on Friday afternoon, watched TV and punched holes in at least 6 belts, from 1/2 inch wide to 21/2 inches wide with no problem. Yes, the wheel is stiff and takes some pressure to turn, but once the desired punch is in place, it stays there with no wobbling or moving around, like others I have tried. I am 70 years old and have arthritis in both hands, so the large grip handle was a blessing. I could do it with one hand on the narrower belts and it was not difficult to use both hands for the wider belts. The most important tip was to make sure the punch goes into the leather at 90 degrees. Other than that- simple!
Dabldoo
I purchased your rotary hole punch to replace the old, dull one I have. I was in pressed with it on the first hole I punched. I am very happy with my purchased. I looked at several different punches that were offered at Amazon. I read the reviews and felt yours meet my needs. The price was a little higher than some of the others, but with the leverage mechanism it makes using it very easy and worth the 'little' higher price. The Pro-master jaws allows 1/4' leather to be punched very easy. My old punch would open to 3/4' (I never punched anything that thick). I wish I had this punch before I started my latest projects.
TechFox
Fantastic! This tool is very easy to use and works very effectively for punching holes in belts. I havenāt tried any other materials, but Iām confident this tool would handle it flawlessly. It feels very high quality. The extra punching plates were definitely a nice bonus.One thing, make sure to clean out the punched material from inside the metal punch part, or you will have trouble cutting future things.Overall a fantastic quality product that works well at a great price.
Adriaan N. Roggeveen
'I am still amazed that anything is still 'Made in America' and am gratified to find such an item still available. It may not seem like much to punch a hole in a piece of leather. It might not be. However , when the leather is expensive and precision is required; you need a precision tool. This precision tool requires no batteries and no USB Cable. Measure where you want to make a hole, pick the size, and squeeze. Adding the grommet is almost as easy. t took me a while to figure out how to put them into the holes so they would mesh, but it not seem as hard as I expected. The only recommendation I might make is a little more info on grommet fusing for old guys like me who have forgotten what we learned in Scouting long ago when we first used this extraordinary too....MADE IN AMERICA!'
Kathleen Duncan
I was looking for something to make installing eyelets in a corset style wedding dress I am making for my daughter easier. Boring a hole with an awl was tedious and hard on my hands. I wasn't sure if this would work on fabric but it was amazing!! I had 2 layers of satin and 2 layers of interfacing. I added an extra layer of interfacing on the outside just to punch through. It worked perfectly. It isn't a sewing tool I will need often, but when I do, I am sure glad I have this. The punch is very sharp and did not fray the fabric at all. Highly recommended to have in your sewing arsenal.
P. Orr
Haven't used it yet but looks very substantial and well made. Everything arrived as stated and look forward to adding some holes to my Dooney and Bourke crossbody bag straps which is what I purchased it to use it for. Very nice product.
KL
I ordered this to punch extra holes in a belt that was a bit too large. I needed something that was easy to use. Very simple and straightforward. Measured the original holes to see how much space was between each one, placed a small indention where I needed the extra holes, selected the right size punch, and boom! Done. Just for reference, I used this on a Gucci belt, very expensive....it would have cost more than this tool for me to have a professional put extra holes in this belt. I was scared to try and do something myself on such a high end belt, but I bit the bullet and can't believe how easy it was. Highly recommend.Edit: included pics. First 3 holes were already there. I added the next three and the holes do look smaller bc I preferred the heavy belt head to be a little more snug.
red rooster
Excellent Product, does the job every time.Easy to use, highly recommend to anyoneeveryone doing leather work!Glad I purchase this great product.
Adam Lehotay
Purchased one for business and another for personal use. Have only used briefly and it performed accurately. The construction is solid, grip comfort was ergonomic, well padded, and secure. The 'locking of the punch notches' was firm and audible. Came with 3 additional, broad, replaceable punch plates and the companion screwdriver to make the exchange; that was a thoughtful provision. In my experience, punches wear out prematurely due to worn out, gashed punch plates.My initial impression of the Best Leather Hole Punch is very favorable.
deano
Great product. Very sturdily built.I can't believe all these years I used a drill to make new holes in belts, etc and messed them up. This does itright the first time!
John C. Shaffer
These pliers are absolutely amazing. I have been using the same old set of leather punch pliers for many many years and decided just to go and buy and new pair. I am so glad I picked the Pro-Master pair. I collect knives and hang them in their sheaths so need to make a small hole in the leather or nylon to hang them on. These make a really clean cut with near nothing effort. They also come with the brass plate that the punch sets against when cutting plus the screwdriver to replace it with. Pro-Master also included a small pair of pliers used to install small brass grommets and a bunch of the grommets. I would had gladly paid the very reasonable price I paid for just the leather punch pliers. I think these pliers will last me for many more years to come and appreciate the quality build I see in these pliers.
Rapps
While punch is sized for a larger hand (manās ?) it is easy to operate. I chose this instead of a craft table top or craft handheld punch. I am 100% happy I did. The blade is sharp, the product is very well made and cuts through everything I need it too
jnaki
hello, this leather hole punch is really good. the punch dies are very sharp leaving an even hole. our last leather punch last 10 years, so this one feels like it is better made and feels comfortable. it should last for at least that. we are not commercial users, but household users. holes for belts, pouches, crafts, etc. one of the best things is the comfortable grip built in to this unit. our last one was plain metal. this one give you a much better grip, which leads to better accuracy. the tools that come with the punch are good, too. one bonus, is the hole eyelet tool and grommets. this gives larger holes a finished look. this is a great product and had fast delivery.
Logan
This is a great tool. It is easy to use [just (1) rotate the punch head dial to select the size of hole you want to punch (it clicks securely into place for each different size) (2) position the punch where you want to make the hole (3) pull the handles together until you feel it punch through the leather]. It is super simple and makes holes that are just as clean as the ones from the factory.So it is an excellent tool, that works great and was a great deal for the money; I recommend it.
Udana Power
This works GREAT. I bought some leather to make a purse and it required punching holes. I decided to get the best I could find...and, boy, does this do the job. There were a few times that I had to punch through 3 layers of leather...and it went through like a warm knife through butter. I have used it since making my cat's collars. I never found cat collars in the store that I liked or that would stay on the cats. So I bought a few tiny buckles at the fabric store and use some extra strips of leather that I have...and within about 10 minutes have nifty cat collars that look really beautiful. They will last for a couple of years of wear and tear and scratching... so when they needed new ones I pulled out my box of leather scraps, cut them to size, and then punched the holes this thing instead of using a hammer and nail. Whew! What a difference! The holes are clean and large enough for me to see. It's a great tool to have if you like to make things.
Mike
Ok, so maybe the best tool ever is the hammer, or fire starter, but this is the best one for making additional holes in belts. Other reviews I've read for other similar products mention cheap construction or not creating a clean cut, or wobbly mechanisms. Not this one. Postitives= I just added additional holes in 8 of my leather belts using multiple size settings and had no problem whatsoever...tool was easy to use, felt good and tight in hand, and sliced through the belts cleanly, like butter. Easy, convenient, and save me bucks. Negatives= none I can think of. I guess if it were free it would be nice, but a fair price for a quality tool that I expect to use for years to come.
DPlacer
The item arrived on time and works fantastically. I have a wholesale membership with a leather supply company but didn't hesitate to purchase this handy dandy tool. I'm very glad I did. I'm a petite girl with small hands. The special handle definitely does make it easier to punch holes in the leather.
Randy Graves
When this company says 'Best Leather Hole Punch' they mean it....they stand by their product in a great way as well. We received the punch and used it the same day on one of our saddles but something appeared to be wrong with the alignment of the punch and the striker plate. We contacted the company and they made good on their product, offering us a replacement. They even overnighted the replacement as we were up against a time wall for a horse show. Again took this new punch out of the box and loved it from the start. We have other horse friends who have asked for the model number and have gladly recommended the punch to them as well.The unit has 6 different settings (2 mm up to 4.5 mm) and comes with several accessories to help with eyelets/grommets, it is extremely sturdy.
Seeker
This is an excellent leather hole punch, and I received it practically the next day after ordering! I have problems with carpal tunnel, but it is super easy to use with comfortable padded handles. It punches holes with no issues whatsoever, effortlessly leaving a nice, clean hole. I initially made the hole too small, but was able to very easily correct the snafu! The only problem had nothing to with the product itself . . . unfortunately, it arrived with the packaging ripped open - it simply needed to be packed more securely.
DianeRoseDuffy
I was looking for a tool that could make tiny holes in fridge magnets for some swag gifts I am making for an upcoming author signing event. This nifty device works perfectly! Seems very well made to last for a long time. Pretty sure the hubby will find use for it as well since it can make several different size holes in different types of materials. WOW - handy gadget to have around!!
Steven C Chiesa
The hole punch has been used on a variety of craft projects and has performed well. The unit is heavy and well made and should last a long time. The punch selector is a little hard to rotate but I would much rather have this than something that is loose and hard to hold in place.
JP
There are a lot of REALLY cheap hole punchers on the market, And some of them aren't inexpensive. I was looking for something that had some quality to it, would be more comfortable to use, fit my large hands, and match up to a price point that made sense. The Pro-Master seems to fit the bill. I have used it a couple times now and it works just like you would expect-easily and punches clean holes. I think you'll be happy. Packaging is good also.
