Your cart is empty.This rotary leather punch from The BeadSmith is designed to pierce hole in lightweight leather and fabric. Simply rotate the die wheel to select desired size. Creates 5 hole sizes: 0. 8, 1, 1. 2, 1. 5 and 2mm in diameter. Spring action reduces hand strain. Heavy duty stainless steel with box joint construction. NOTE: Punched hole size will vary slightly depending on type and weight of leather.

Brilliant! I rarely write reviews. But this is an exception device for my uses on soft leather up to 6 oz. Was not sure a device with a ONE size fits all tapered needle punch, would work this well with a variable hole size rotation disk on the bottom. It works perfectly. And does not require any extraordinary hand strength at all, but I'll make another note about this at the bottom of this review.*** It is particularly good if you need SMALL holes for a watch band or fine threading for your leather. And I assume you can get another disk for larger holes (up to the diameter of the tapered punch needle??) I needed a 1.5 mm hole in my leather and am surprised how well these work and how easy they are to use. The return spring can be removed or replaced easily, and you can fine tune it a bit by "Pre-bending" it. You can also open the "jaws" much, much wider than even the return spring can reach, good for those "fat" parts you may need to maneuver+ pastIt is FAST compared to hammering holes with a hollow punch, and much cleaner to use.Plus, it is so fast and easy to use, you can make a smaller hole on one side of your leather, to locate or experiment, then flip the leather over and make a bigger hole from the opposite direction, or the same side, just by rotating the disk to the next size.I like this tool especially since YOU DON'T HAVE TO SHARPEN IT, like many leather hole punches. I don't have to hit a long hollow spike with a hammer a million times (and miss and hit my hand a half a million times). It is simple and the "chads" of leather are practically non-existant. This is a tapered style hole maker instead of a usually dull circle punch.Notes: If you don't line up the rotator hole disk correctly you can get a shallow or wrong sized hole. The disk has a small "indent" positioner. You will feel a satisfying "punch" when it works right.I wish the handles were just a bit longer for leverage on thicker stock, and if the jaws could be deeper for longer reaches into your leather.

This is the best thing ever for leather work. I needed something to punch very small holes in leather and it works great. Not meant for heavy duty leather but is terrific for light-mid weight leather work.

Ok, functionally it worked perfectly and punched the holes in the straps for my girlfriend’s Mary Jane’s perfectly.The alignment of the pin to the hole sizer is spot on and gave me no problems whatsoever-Upon looking at the assembly, it is crooked, but it doesn’t affect the functionality of it

We used this to make extra holes in the straps of some dress shoes. Worked perfectly!

The tool works fine; it does, in my experience, get clogged with the leather punchings quite quickly. The leather I was using was of average thickness. I noticed the more supple the leather, is when I would have this problem.

I had low expectations due to the low price of the punch. I was pleasantly surprised it feels heavy and sturdy in my hand. It works with just one or two punches depending on your material. So far I’ve only used it on a shoe strap. I was pleased the hole matches the holes already in the strap fairly well, especially once it’s buckled. It also has a fairly long space between the hinge and hole so that you can get further into a piece to place a hole. Definitely recommend. Mostly I’ll be using this for leather accessories and the occasional shoe strap extra hole.

High quality, solidly made, does exactly what I need - i.e. punching small rivets in plastic sheet for modelling buildings.
