Reviews
"In these, the channel narrows between the punch end and the open "window" channel, causing the punches to get stuck and then compress into a dense plug the more punches you make. So, I punch, punch, clean, punch, punch, clean."
"I opted for this set of leather hole punches."
"The tool had no problem cutting the hole but left a tapered edge because the cutting edge of the punch is very short, less than 1/8". The fast taper makes a smaller hole than the OT of the tool and leaves a noticeable taper in the hole."
"I received these punches and after noticing some rough edges, I took a small curved edged needle file and removed them on the cutout of the punches."
"I don't bother to clean them out, eventually the material comes out after a few punches and doesn't affect the use of the tool."
"These worked just fine for me on some thick leather."
"So putting it on a pretty solid surface (wood) when you punch is a must."
"You would have had to use a sledgehammer to get these dull, dull, punches to cut through anything."

transfer punch set. Eliminates The Guesswork When Transferring Threaded, Drilled or Reamed Holes.
Reviews
"I might mark the entire top of the base with a marker and sand the 'fractions' to remove the marker itself... Actually, if your only pulling one or two rods at a time, you really do not need the sizes marked... but I'm a bit OCD - so we will see what develops.. LOL. The black oxide finish isn't the best I've ever seen, but should hold up well even if stored in a basement workshop (ie: slightly damp). I installed several threaded inserts in some oak and needed to accurately mark the location of the center of the insert on a mating piece of ash... and these worked just fine, giving me a nice and snug fit with having so many choices with a 1/64" increment. I also mounted an electric motor with thick 'feet' to a stand and needed to mark the location of where to drill the holes for the mounting bolts, and again, the rod left me a perfect divot to use as a spot to start drilling... and again, the hole wound up dead on..."
"Like all transfer punches they must be used like a transfer punch and not like a center punch or you'll ruin the points."
"I have been using these for wood turning projects when I need to dissassemble pens."
"Transferring holes are far easier with these than using the eyeballing it method."
"Use them in front of my less mechanical friends and they are shocked at how simple and effective they are for laying out holes."
"Nice quality."

Reviews
"I couldn't find anyone in my town (surprisingly) that could punch a simple hole through a thick leather watch band, so I gave up and bought this after researching on Amazon."
"Good hole puncher and great suggestions from the company."
"It's been a week since it arrived and i finally tested to punch a hole on one of my pure leather belts... So first, I tried using the owl from the kit to make the punch easier before i actually punched it from the actual tool."
"Naturally it is designed for leather, but it will cut paper, plastic and rubber as well. This one is better than others around the same price because it has a base that can swivel between plastic and brass."
"So when making holes in leather, as he was doing, you have to be VERY careful how far you push the hole in as it will get bigger if you press it all the way in the material."
"I'm using them now to build a new stacked ring style leather handle to a knife my father made out of an old file when he was stationed in London during WWII."
"Hear me out: The pliers work well and do the job, the have extra parts to easily replace on the base that will get otherwise worn down quickly, and this company has the best customer service I have ever experienced."
"I dropped a line to the seller and asked what was wrong and got an almost immediate reply - that the item was defective and a replacement was on its way."

Reviews
"I used this set to put an Apex Tactical trigger and sear kit into my S&W Shield."
"After reading reviews on this punch set I was very skeptical because a few of my guns require punches to remove various pins of various sizes."
"When I started assembling firearms and doing some gunsmithing and armorer's work, a roll pin punch set was needed."
"Use the proper size tool for the pin you're trying to remove or replace, if you do use one of the undersized punches they will bend."
"Have taken apart and put back together countless pistols thanks to these roll punches."
"I purchased the Grip Roll Pin Punch Set to use while gun smithing and i really do like it so far."
"I never had a set of these in my toolbox and usually used other methods of punching out things such as bearings(probably not the best idea) I have used these for many things such as roll pins, dowel pins, bearings....."
"I went to town, but a higher quality set "wheeler", it had a 1/16" punch, it was actually too small, the 3/32" punch worked."

"The best way to sum up this hole punch is simple: It's the Cadillac of hole punchers. This hole puncher will punch holes and punch holes through paper like none-other.

"Doesn’t have the most prominent edge to line things paper up for consistent punch."
"This punch says it can go through 15 pages, but I wouldn't be surprised if it could actually go through up to 20."
"great quality + price."
"Super easy to use."
"Works like a gem!"
"Nicely designed."
"And I normally don't bother writing reviews but I just wanted to put a warning on this thing for others: buy something else."
