13-Piece Leather Hollow Punch Set — Slim 1.0–12mm Professional Kit
Product description
Slim profile for straighter, cleaner holes: The punches have a narrow barrel to help keep the tool vertical during strikes and reduce wobble, resulting in neater, more consistent holes.
Comprehensive size set: Thirteen hollow punches are included covering 1.0mm, 1.5mm, 2.0mm, 3.0mm, 4.0mm, 5.0mm, 6.0mm, 7.0mm, 8.0mm, 9.0mm, 10mm, 11mm and 12mm so you can select the precise diameter for straps, belts and other small projects.
Materials and finish: Each punch is made from hardened steel with a dark, rust-resistant coating. Sizes are laser-etched on the barrels for quick identification. To preserve the finish and cutting edge, wipe the punches with a light anti-corrosion oil after use.
Storage and identification: The set comes organized in a canvas roll that keeps each punch in its place and shields the cutting edges during transport and storage. The roll is portable and labeled for fast access.
Included protective mat: A 3-inch nylon mat is supplied to cushion the strike and protect your work surface while punching. For heavier work, a solid backing such as a granite slab topped with a dense board will improve impact transfer.
Applications and use: These punches are designed for leather belts, watch bands, straps and similar materials. They also handle thin rubber, plastic sheets, canvas, paper and dense foam. Use with a hammer or mallet, clear plugs as needed, and back the workpiece on a firm surface for clean results.

Extremely sharp and robust
These punches are very sharp and easily slice through thick leather with a few hammer taps. They arrive in a fold-out nylon pouch with Velcro and a sturdy cutting mat.

Handy full set — works reliably
Glad I bought the whole kit since I needed multiple sizes. The nylon mat felt a bit stiff, so I used a softer self-healing mat and managed to make hundreds of clean holes in heavy paper while the punch stayed sharp.

Handles 4–5 oz leather without trouble
Surprised at how well these pierced my 4–5 oz pieces. The roll and laser size labels make them easy to organize and return. They work down to the smallest sizes with consistent results.

Great for foam, not fabric
Works very well on high-density foam of various thicknesses, but they don’t work on fabric.

Good kit for beginners
As a newer leatherworker I found the punches durable and effective; they cleanly punch through 8–10 oz veg tan. The tool roll protects the edges and keeps them organized.

Long‑lived but some plug and gutter issues
After years of light use these punches are still serviceable; I touch up the 2mm occasionally. Waxing the barrels helps them slide, and with a solid backing I’ve gone through up to 10 oz with a few strikes. Smaller plugs can cling and the punch’s chip gutter is rather short, which makes clearing plugs trickier.
