Summary: works
Comments: I got this for punching holes in leather belts. Works just fine. Wide range of
hole diameters. IMO, sharp enough when new.
If you want to pick some nits, the quality of the casting is fairly crude, and
I suspect that the cutting tools will not stay sharp all that long. So, I take issue
with the "professional" term in the title. however, for occasional home use, it is excellent. |

Summary: great handle, adequate cutting tubes
Comments: The cutting tube of this tool is well aligned with the brass cutting-anvil on the other side of the punch, and it gives no indication of drifting or wobbling like many of the light weight ones end up doing.
At 18.6 oz,I do not find the weight excessive, however rather reassuring, it was also not excessively oily. My only complaint about the handle is that as the jaws come together, the last ~3/8" gets really tight, meaning that functionally the jaw is only 1 1/4" deep unless your leather is thin. This could be fixed at home with a file, however I am a bit irritated.
The cutting tubes are adequate, however I find I have to punch from both sides of a piece or do a lot of twisting to get the hole all the way through. "Hot poker through howeverter" is not how I would describe it. Adequate.
Because these are screw-in bits, other bits can be purchased and screwed in, if you find the right size. The threading is standard for punches however the overall length of the cutting tubes is1inch, which is not the same as [TANDY-LEATHER-MINI-PUNCH-SET-w-CHANGEABLE-TUBES|this punch set], so be sure to check the length before you purchase any replacement cutting tubes. |

Summary: Heavy duty leather punch
Comments: I find this punch to be a fine product. It definitely is solid and heavy duty. I prefer its design of individual punches as opposed to the punch wheel type. I have used it once to punch an additional hole in a belt, however look forward to using it again and again. |
