How to choose the right leather punch:

Picking a leather punch depends on stuff like hole size, material, and what you're using it for. Choosing the right tool ensures the best results and makes the job easier. Here are the key things to consider when selecting a good leather punch.

1. Hole size and diameter

Leather punches come with different cutting head sizes that set the hole diameter.
Small holes (1–3 mm): Great for thin leather, fabrics, and jewelry making. Use these for thin straps and cords.
Medium holes (4–6 mm): Perfect for belts, bags, shoes, and other leather goods needing standard holes for buckles and rivets.
Large holes (7 mm or bigger): For thicker leather items that need bigger openings or decorative holes.

Choose the right diameter based on the add-ons you're using in your project, like rivets, buckles, or snaps.

2. Material thickness and quality

Thin leather and soft materials: If you're working with thin leather, fabric, or plastic, go for a sharply honed punch that makes clean holes without tearing.
Thicker and stiffer leather: For heavy-duty stuff like saddles or tool belts, you need a strong, sharp punch that can go through in one hit.

The punch has to be tough enough not to bend or dull in thicker materials.

3. Purpose and work needs

Pro use: If you're working with leather daily, invest in a high-quality, durable all-metal punch that holds up to constant use without wearing out.
Hobby use: For lighter stuff, a simpler model works fine, giving you the precision and reliability for crafts and small projects.
