How to choose the right leather piercing tool:

Choosing a leather punch depends on several factors, such as the size of the hole, the material, and the intended use. Choosing the right tool will ensure the best possible result and make your work easier. Below are the key things to consider when choosing a suitable leather punch.

1. Hole size and diameter

Leather punches are available with different sized cutting heads that determine the diameter of the hole.
Small holes (1–3 mm): Especially suitable for thin leather, fabrics and jewelry making. These are used, for example, for thin straps and cords.
Medium holes (4-6 mm): Suitable for belts, bags, shoes and other leather products that require standard-sized holes for buckles and rivets.
Large holes (7 mm or larger): Used for example for thicker leather products where larger grommets or decorative holes are needed.

Choose the right diameter depending on what additional parts (e.g. rivets, buckles, snaps) you plan to use in your work.

2. Material thickness and quality

Thin leather and soft materials: If you are working with thin leather, fabric, or plastic, choose a precisely sharpened punch that will make a clean hole without tearing the material.
Thicker and stiffer leather: If you are working with thick leather products like saddles or tool belts, you will need a strong and sharp punch that can pierce the material in one blow.

A leather punch should be strong enough so that it does not warp or dull in thicker materials.

3. Intended use and work needs

Professional use: If you work with leather products on a daily basis, invest in a high-quality and durable all-metal punch that can withstand constant use without wear.
Hobby use: For lighter use, a simpler model is sufficient, providing the necessary accuracy and reliability for crafts and small projects.
