Product Information

Round and curvy cuts at the end of the belts look good however they can be time-consuming to cut into shape with hand. That’s when you need round, half-round, V-shaped, or similar style strap end punches. Cutting the ends of belts to the desired shape can be quite easy with the help of these tools. Also, the end result usually looks better compared to cutting the shapes with a regular knife.

Hand stitching leather requires us to pre-punch the leather before the stitching process. The needles used in hand stitching leather have dull tips. This protects the leather from scratching and is safer for the leathercrafter. Also leather is a strong material and even the sharper needles can’t penetrate the leather too easily. Cutting leather with a sharp knife is usually fun but sometimes cutting small shapes, even though they are basic shapes like a rectangle with rounded corners can be challenging and time-consuming. That’s when a basic leather punch can be really useful. These shapes are usually sold in sets and you can combine one or more basic shapes to create a more complex shape. Leather Stitching Punch Buttonhole, also known as keyhole or tailed, punches produce a round hole with a small slit off to one side. These are used with button studs or ball head rivets that slide into the hole and then slip into the slit to keep the flap closed. Oval/Square/Teardrop Leather stitching punches are quite popular and often essential to make some leather products. Leather stitching punches are all commonly used for the same purpose: mark/pierce the stitch line to enable you to handstitch leather in a consistent way. Oblong Leather PunchesDrill punches have a hex shaft instead of a striking end and are meant to be used with either a hand drill or drill press. They require the same setup as a drive punch (work surface, hard surface, cutting mat, leather). Secure the punch in the drill, then press downward through the leather while very gently squeezing the trigger or running the press at a low RPM. Japanese Screw Punch This is the most common punch shape. It comes in the widest sizes and has the most possible uses. From stitching holes and belt holes to leather patches, a set of round punches is a must-have for most leatherworkers. It can be bought individually or as a set and is available in all punch types. Oblong/Belt/Bag

There are a few alternatives to using a punch to put a hole in leather. Small diameter holes can be punched using a nail or scratch awl. Drill bits or rotary tool bits can be used to drill small to medium-sized holes. Simple tools can make the leather punching process easy and effective. There are specialized tools for different punching needs. Let’s explore some of the most popular types and how they can be helpful in the shop. Leather Round Strap End Punch Leather Hole Punch This saves time and effort compared to other punch types except for machines. The holes are 25mm/1in apart, which is the standard spacing for belts. The individual punches are removable for easy sharpening or replacement. Available with either round or oval holes. Leather Hole Punch MachinePunching the leather is not always about the functionality but sometimes it is for the looks. In some projects, you may need to add a little bit of fun to your leather product and you can use decorative leather punches to punch different shapes such as hearts, stars or some other shape depending on your project. The highest quality punches/pliers are made of drop forged high carbon steel. These will last a lifetime. Lower quality doesn’t necessarily mean bad, but they will typically just say “steel” or sometimes not even that.
