These traditional leather hole punches are workshop staples used for creating clean round holes in leather for belts, straps, watch bands, dog collars, bag making, hardware installation, lace work and general leathercraft. These steel punches can also be used on materials such as paper, board, denim, canvas, felt, foam, rubber etc.
The punches follow the original factory numbering system (00, 0, 1, 2, etc.) instead of the actual hole diameter. We have measured and correlated the factory punch size, actual punch diameter, and the typical hole produced in leather to make size selection easier.

The “Typical Hole Produced” values should be treated as practical reference values, not absolute dimensions. Final hole size varies with leather thickness, temper, and technique.
Workshop Grade Tools: Minor tooling marks, finish variations, scratches, cosmetic blemishes and handling marks should be considered normal and do not affect function. Store in a dry, low-humidity environment; apply a light coat of oil for long-term storage.
