Cheaper than any other tool,
Does the job perfectly. Just remember that this set goes from not too small of hole to half inch hole which is pretty big. If you want to use it to punch holes in belts and need very small holes then this set is not for you.

|Pleased as punch! (Sorry),
These are simple punches that you hit with a hammer. It drives into your material and whatever may be below. Please find some scrap of wood or other thick material that you can sacrifice.
This set of 9 comes in some very useful sizes. I used the smallest punch to create a new hole in the straps of an old pair of sandals where the leather had stretched out. Just the right size for this purpose. Then the next larger size was exactly the right size for belts. I used it on two belts, one of regular weight leather and the other very heavy weight leather. It worked easily both times. Darned useful for those embarrassing moments when you’ve lost 16 lbs, don’t feel like buy new cloths but still have more lbs to go before your old/cute wardrobe works again.
I do have a pair of dress sandals with super fine holes but there was no punch in this set small enough to match that hole. Perhaps a large leather needle will match that size instead.
These are hollow punches and the hollow fills up as you use the punch. Eventually, you’ll need a needle, tweezers or something to get that material out of the hollow.
These are very sturdy punches and should stand up to some heavy use. It is pretty clear that it will work on a variety of materials, leather, paper, pliable plastics. You might be able to use it on very thin sheets of metal or wood. If you do use it on metal, you’ll have to figure out how to sharpen the punch eventually.
The punches themselves are fine although they have smudges of grease/graphite/other lubricant on them.
The plastic case is better than a plastic baggie but not by much. Everytime I open the case, the punches fall out.

|I wish I would have checked Amazon before destroying my belt.,
I bought a new belt , but needed one more hole in it . I thought I’d be careful with my box cutter .Well not using the proper tool botched my belt . The punch works perfect . One tap with a hammer to mark and a good hit goes through cleanly every time .
