I use it for leatherworking; if the strap is made of fabric, it may begin to frey the fabric, but it will cut through; I once used it to add a key ring to a backpack strap, but had to use a grommet to keep it from freying.
This punch isn't for light materials; it's for heavy ones. On paper, it will not make a straight cut. You'd be better off using a regular paper punch for your needs - as well as being less costly!
My own is used to pierce cardboard boxes and leather.
Yes. br>Remember that there are only four punches available. Most plastic shower curtain hooks, which are 8 mm in diameter, will have to be forced through, stretching any plastic curtain material. Metal hangers, for example, can easily pass through that hole size, or even a smaller hole size like 4. 0 mm.

Too much of a scrooge to pay a cobbler or so-called so-called so-called so-called so-called so-called so-called so-called so A disproportionate amount of money was paid to a leather specialist to punch a hole in the leather. br>Using tailor's chalk, mark the spot, place the punch precisely, and firmly press down.

So, this is my second hole punch of this model, as my first one broke after a few months of heavy use. I feel like the first one gave me my money's worth. As a result, I decided to buy a second one to replace the one that had broken. The head was misaligned and felt cheap right out of the box. I attempted to punch holes, but it did not go all the way through my material. It would punch halfway through, but not the rest of the way. It's a real drag. To make a hole, I had to try punching the rest of the hole through the material's other side. The issue is that the hole punch does not sit flat against the brass plate, preventing it from punching all the way through the material. After some practice, I was able to make some divots in the plate by using sheer force to flatten the head of the hole, and it now appears to be working. But I have a feeling it's about to snap. I suppose this is what you get for under ten dollars. I'd pay up to $30 for one that felt sturdy and functioned right out of the box.
The grips are large and comfortable, allowing you to gain the leverage you need to punch through thick leather and materials. If you have small hands, it may be difficult to use; in that case, single punches tapped with a hammer may be preferable. br>br>I like having multiple sizes of punches in one tool because it saves me space. It makes storage a lot more organized, and everything I need is all in one place. It's also useful for projects where I might need more than one size hole. br>br>In terms of punching power, it's fantastic! I used it to help me punch holes for grommets in a corset and it worked better than a punch I paid almost twice as much for! The punch cut through three layers of heavy material at once with ease and left a clean hole. br>The layers were stacked in the following order:br>- Embroidery on a thick woven brocade fabric layerbr>- two layers of heavy rip stop canvasbr>It was a bit of a hand workout, but anyone who has worked with rip stop canvas knows how difficult it is to punch holes in. There's a reason why it's used by the military. br>br>Overall, it's a fantastic heavy-duty tool with a lot of punch!.
This was purchased to add holes to the leather straps of my Birkenstocks. Although the smallest hole is still one size larger than the original Birk holes, it's close enough. I've got a bunch of Birks that I've drilled a dozen holes in so far. It's simple to align the leather and punch a hole in it. Cleaning the cut leather out of the hollow tube of the hole punch is as simple as rotating the punch to the opposite side of the wheel and pushing the leather out the other end with a skewer. It's not necessary to clean it out, but I do it once a day when I'm done with the tool. When you want it to, the wheel rotates easily, but when it's not in use, it stays solid. This is an excellent tool.
I recently lost some weight and bought this to make holes in some of my belts. The rubber grip is excellent, and the item is well-made and "heavy duty" in nature. I was able to punch holes in regular belts with ease. I do, however, have two that are made of genuine Texas leather. To get a hole, I had to punch on both sides. I was a little let down, but it does the job.
I'm blown away. I would strongly advise it. Any belt I buy always seems to require a hole between the existing holes. It's a little too tight in one direction. The other option is a tad too sloppy. So I went out and purchased a hole punch. The "heavy duty" version was not that much more expensive, so I bought this one. excellent value for money I ripped it out of the package as soon as I got it. I punched a hole in my thick leather belt, which I wear every day, to make the hole I needed. Now it's just right. Until I lose or gain weight again, ha:.
Excellent value for money. Excellent product; I wish I had purchased one 20 years ago. I'm not sure what the naysayers are referring to. When it punctures clean through the leather, mine cuts very cleanly and makes a nice snapping sound. It's on my belts right now. It looks just like the original holes and just like a cobbler would. The punch edges have to be razor-sharp. The $12 one was the one I chose. It's possible that the cheaper one has more issues. Just one piece of advice: Try it out on a hidden area first. The holes are smaller than I anticipated for a particular setting. Before I found a size match with the existing holes, I had to rotate to larger punch sizes twice.
