OWDEN Professional 6pc Leather Hollow Punch Set, Size 1.0-5.0mm, Black Finish, 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.
