OWDENAL0017 Leather Hollow Punch Set of 6

These are much better than I expected. I've used them twice, once on making a gasket, and the second time to punch precise holes in a template. They are nice and sharp, and the work quite well.

Nothing more to say. Great on adding holes on your belt or any leather material.

As a hobbyist leather worker, I mainly use a rotary punch, but I currently have a project in the works that requires a 7/32" hole where the rotary punch will not reach. I decided to purchase this Owden package because they were reasonably priced and the 4.5 stars reviews. I tried using the 7/32" on 7 to 8 oz veg tan leather. They are reasonably sharp, but not sharp enough for my needs and the punch was somewhat difficult to extract from the leather. I believe though after I have sharpened and polished the edges, they will be fine. They may be fine as they are on thinner leathers, but I've not tried them yet on anything less than 7 to 8 oz. Overall, I'm pleased to have this set at a reasonable price.

I lost some weight, and my belts were getting too loose. Before I spent a bunch on new belts, I figured I'd try adding new notches with these.The punches worked great for fairly thin LL Bean dress belts. After 10 minutes of measuring/swinging a hammer, I have 2 new, clean notches in all my belts which should make these last a long while more.The punch has a slightly flared (cone-shaped) end as you can see in the product pics. It didn't mean much for my thin belts, but if you have a thicker piece of leather or material, your notch may be slightly stretched on one side (the side where you line up the punch), but you'll have a clean circle on the other side.I made my holes with the punch lined up on the back side of the belt (where you can see the holes look slightly bigger or stretched), and the front surface that is visible when wearing the belt looks very clean. Start small, you can always make a bigger notch if needed!Very happy with the punches and the feel like they should last a long time for a $9 purchase.

Surprised at the level of quality for such a good price. Very happy with how it performed on Sunbrella projects for our boat.
