> 24 hourI wind up having to punch holes in many things and many different materials. This device works like a champ! Its easy on my hands. Works on many materials for me: paper, leather, cloth, cardboard. Ive switched out my older punch for this one.

> 24 hourThis leather hole punch feels very solid and heavy duty. The handle area opens nearly too wide for my small, female hands to grip unless it’s at least halfway closed. No instructions are included, which would have been helpful for me, since I’m new to this type of tool and since there are several places on it to make adjustments that I don’t necessarily understand intuitively. The single photo of instructions found here on the product page are still a little over my non-mechanical head, but they’re better than nothing. Still, I had to ask my husband to figure out how to make adjustments and even spin the main selection wheel. Now that I know how to adjust it, this tool is fairly easy for me to operate (other than the wide grip). You’ll want to learn to select the puncher you want, select the hole size the puncher will press thru, and adjust the spacer bar for uniformity. An included Allen Wrench is cleverly stored on the handle for making certain adjustments. I own a lot of leather chokers and fashion harnesses that can’t be tightened enough to properly fit me using the provided holes, so I was eager to make new holes safely and efficiently with this tool as opposed to attempting some creative, risky endeavor I might concoct otherwise. Thankfully, this item works perfectly, and I punched all the holes I was wanting to. I know I’ll need it again in the future, so I’m glad I’ll have it so readily available. Overall, this is a fantastic leather hole puncher (in my novice opinion) that only really needs some clear instructions and maybe some accommodation for smaller hands.

> 24 hourIts made from high-quality materials and is incredibly easy to use. It punches clean holes with no jagged edges - something that’s especially important for leather projects. It also comes with different sized hole punchers so you can customize your projects to your exact needs.

> 24 hourIt takes strength and a lot of squeezing pressure to punch holes in a quality mens leather belt, which typically has 2 layers of leather. All the punches I had bought in the past were not strong enough for the job and would bend out of shape very quickly. I had nearly given up, but decided to give this one a try thanks to Amazons return policy. But this one is a keeper. It is very well-made with sturdy metal parts. I punched 2 dozen clean holes in heavy leather belts with relative ease.

> 24 hourIt’s a breeze through leather and thin plastic. I don’t need to cut metal so I’ll save that test for later. Nicely made.

> 24 hourThis punch came in a plain, recyclable box, with poly-foam padding (not recyclable). In some ways, this punch is much better than the cheap punch I purchased at a local hardware store several years ago. The V blades definitely make holes cleaner, and more easily than the straight style of my older one. While the depth guard makes it very handy to make consistently spaced holes, it also limits how deep the punch can go. Still, it should be fine for 90% of the belts out there. My only complaint is that it seems like a slightly complicated device in its different adjustment options. I figured it out (I think), but a set of illustrated directions is needed.

> 24 hourIncredible! Like punching through butter! Takes the work out of punching. I was more than pleasantly surprised with the sharp cut through .085 leather right out of the box. Overall, the tool is heavy and well built. The handles are hefty, comfortable and operate with such ease its amazing. It feels good to squeeze this punch and watch how easy it goes through the heavy material. I think you could punch holes all day and not hurt your hands. Ive had several leather punches over the years and never really had much luck with them. I always resorted to punch and die style, but this is so much easier and takes up less space, too. Theres even a little holder in the handle for the allen wrench. The wrench stays out of the way and you can keep it stored there during use without any obstruction. Not to mention trying to keep it together in your tool box. Brilliant design addition! I wish more tools would do this. Small problem - no instructions included. If you look closely there are numbers on the top punch wheel and numbers on the lower plate. Youll simply loosen the screws and turn the hole device and then match up the same size hole in the plate. Simple but it took me a minute to figure out. Instructions would be good for someone using a tool like this for the first time. Im impressed! I hope it stays sharp as it doesnt appear you can get a replacement wheel for the holes if they need sharpening. Unfortunately, that makes it disposable. I dont do leather work on a constant basis, so I think Ill have this for a long time. My Dad does leather working as a consistent hobby and he was so impressed I had to leave this with him and buy another for myself. The price is great for a hand tool that takes the work out of punching. Must have for any tool box!

> 24 hourI needed to add some holes to a belt, so I purchased this item. Was I amazed at the features of this punch! There is a rotary head which allow easy access to each of the punches. In addition, there is an adjustable stop which allows you to measure once and punch the same a series of holes in the same position without making a measurement at each step. The punch handle is very comfortable to use and allows you to use the punch with less fatigue. Also, I discovered that the punch is recommended for use with different material other than just leather belts, so I am sure that I will find more uses for the tool. I highly recommend this product!

> 24 hourThis is easy to use and makes punching a hole a fairly easy job. However, it is not easy to change the size. I couldnt figure out how to, until I went to others reviews where they said you have to unscrew the whole thing. Thats just not logical. The dial wont turn to change size as it is. Fortunately for me, I think the size it is pre-set on is probably the only one Id use anyway. It is about the standard small size for a belt. If you have larger holes in your belt then this might not work for you. It seems heavy duty and would get a 4 if I could change the sizing more easily.
