This little leather punch turned into the best investment for the money (Cyber Monday sale with an insane discount) I've made in a very long time.I'm currently working on finishing a "fursuit", one that involves literally hundreds of grommets and rivets. The material I was working with was broadcloth and Kona cotton, glued together with hot-glue. The broadcloth was the trim, with the cotton making up the bulk of the tunic. It was being punched through three layers of the broadcloth and one layer of the cotton.For the larger holes needed for the grommets, I used the 4.5mm hole, which is (barely) large enough for my needs. I was "satisfied" by the results, since the punch worked most of the time, and the rest can be teased out with a well-sharpened #11 blade. But of the 520 holes I needed to make in total, only 90 of them were for the eyelets, so I'm OK with that.But for the rivets... It's AWESOME! Full penetration and material removal for EVERY HOLE. For the math-challenged, that's 430 holes in total and all of the material was removed, leaving daylight showing through and no need for using an awl to expand the holes for the rivets.Moreover, the ability to chomp through from hole to hole without twisting, realigning or the hand fatigue from a hand-held leather punch was butter smooth and that process was FAST, taking 2/3 the time for twice the number of grommet holes I punched.520 holes in under an hour, all perfectly spaced, with 430 of them, and the majority of the other 90 needing NOTHING to mess with.This being on fabric makes it even more compelling if your case-use is for leather. It's lightning quick and amazingly efficient with leather, even better than fabric. If you're still tearing your hand up on the hand-held model (which was a variant on this type for sale on the site when I bought this, I already had that hurts my hand now), I can assure you that your hand will love you for this thing.Your arm, maybe not so much, but the leverage this applies is more than sufficient reason to forgive a somewhat sore arm. (And after 520 holes, something's going to be complaining about that if not just darkly muttering in a corner).This will be REPLACING my leather punches for everything it can reach. It's relatively quiet, very fast, easy to use, accurate as hell and I can't be more pleased that I got it on a Cyber Monday sale with same-day delivery.Even if you can't get that deal on it now, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this to EVERYONE who's serious about their crafting. This was instrumental in reducing my hand fatigue, and keeping my apartment neighbors from pounding the walls by using a manual hammer-and-punch approach (which was my second option). Plus it did the job faster than a hammer and punch could possibly do. I don't recall the "full price" on this, but it's sturdy enough and functional enough in all the important ways, to consider as a worthy investment and addition to any maker's/crafter's tool kit.I DO NOT gush about tools very often. Very few ever live up to my high expectations. But this thing turned a dreaded step in a very long and complicated build of a fursuit into a dream in speed, silence, efficiency and functionality, and I can't give it more kudos than that. I give 4 stars to what I really like. I only give 5 stars when I have no reservations, no down-check, not provisions, no hesitation, to endorse a product.If you need a rotatory leather punch, GET THIS! Your life will be much happier using this than ANYTHING that fits in one hand.

Excellent tool!!

The leather punch works great and has 4-5 hole sizes. The rivet tool is excellent and very easy to use. I easily replaced an eyelet on a favorite pair of golf shoe with new eyelet rivet. It comes with a bag of stainless-steel colored and brass-colored eyelets which allows many different uses. The new eyelet rivet looks and functions perfectly. Highly recommend this inexpensive item

I'm giving this 4 stars because I need a magnifying glass to read the instructions! And then I sort of have to figure it out myself. There is a little screw and bracket that keeps you from turning the wheel to get the size hole you want, and nothing is said about that. You have to loosen it with a screwdriver so you can turn the wheel, then tighten it when you get the size you want. Other than that, if you watch the video it's self explanatory. The little brace is nice, and the puncher works wonderfully as long as the belt isn't real thick. ( then it didn't go all the way through) I didn't know if I needed to take the clear plastic thing off that's where the peg comes down to make the hole, but I left it there. I see there are more included when this one wears out. Just PLEASE include larger pictures and instructions. The holes it makes are nice, and it lays on the table so you press down, - it's not hand held. This is easier for an older person.

This device is great quality and so easy to use. It includes all of the tools needed. There are multiple hole punch sizes & it has an easy grip and is so easy to punch the holes (I was using leather). Highly recommend!

Quality and works really good.

Works great, nice clean grommets. Very easy to use and very quick process. Hole punch seems a little larger than it needs to be and it came very dull. Once I put an edga on the punch it worked much better. I also tried doing the grommet without punching a hole in 2 layers of heavy canvas and it was very easy to punch through and make a clean grommet. I tried Manrams grommet maker and this one far exceeded theirs.

This is a great tool for adding holes to your favorite belt. It's easy to use, very accurate, easy to line up, and has a nice grip. Very pleased with the variety of holes to choose from. Works great. Thanks for the fast delivery.
