Types of Leather Hole Punch Tools

Common types of leather hole punches include:

• Single-hole punches: Create individual holes in different sizes with single-hole punches.
• Multi-hole punches: A lacing chisel is ideal for punching multiple holes for laces and straps.
• Reinforcement hole punches: These tools create holes for rivets or snaps.
• Specialty punches: Create unique designs and shapes, such as rosettes.

Benefits of Using Quality Leather Hole Punch Tools

Quality leather hole punches make the job of a new or seasoned leather crafter easier. These tools are handy if you’re working on a complex piece or must repair a rivet or clip. Additional benefits include:

• Clean cuts: You can avoid tearing with a leather hole punch that creates clean, professional-looking holes.
• Durability: Most of our leather punches have forged steel frames and are highly polished. These superior-quality pieces deliver long-lasting performance.
• Ease of use: Ergonomic design provides enhanced comfort while using leather hole punches for extended periods.

How to Choose the Right Hole Punch Tool

The project you’re working on dictates the tool you’ll use, specifically the leather thickness, size and number of holes required. Oblong leather punches are ideal for creating slots for straps on holsters or saddles, while lacing chisels make holes for leather lace.

We suggest trying a basic set if you’re a beginner and experimenting with specialty punches as you gain experience and refine your leather-punching skills.

Care and Maintenance Tips

Since these tools are steel-forged, we recommend cleaning them after each use to prevent rust and ensure the edges remain sharp. Store tools in a casing or a durable bag to help prolong their life and protect the cutting edges.
