Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.

Customers are mixed about the quality of the hole punch. Some mention it's good quality and sturdy, while others say it'd be impossible to punch through almost any material.

Not impressed. It broke on the first use. Not only did the edge chip, it cracked so I can’t sharpen it.Save yourself the frustration and buy something else.
I used this on 6mm neoprene and it worked great. A little different than leather, had to smack it a little harder because of the bounce in the rubber but I go the exact clean cut I was looking for. Cuts a perfect circle in difficult to cut material!
It was not very sharp on arrival, and after using it to punch out hard density felt wads it lost what little sharpness it had. The steel was very soft, as if it had not been hardened at all. So I used a grinder wheel to sharpen the punch a bit, then hardened the steel in my forge. It now cuts through 1/8" hard felt with a single blow from a 2lb deadblow hammer.
A cautionary note: if you decide to attempt the same thing and google how to harden steel, also google tempering. You need to temper this punch after heating and quenching, otherwise it will be too brittle.
I ordered this for a one time use to punch through rubber weather strips on a truck. Those strips had a thin metal strip in them as well. The product held up through all 10 punches i had to make. Chewed up the blade a bit considering I forced it through rubber and tin. But it got my job done.
no e and sturdy, easy to hold and hit with my mallet. Just the right size....I removed a star because it also has to be one of the dullest leather punch I have ever used. Time to whip out my sharpening tools.....
