Leather Circle Cutter Tool Set, 9 Pieces Circle Punch Tools 15 20 25 30 35 40 45 50 55mm, High Carbon Steel Round Cutting Dies - Leather Hole Punch Tool Kit for DIY Leathercrafts

Easy to use. Great price. Didn't use them on leather, used them on sound deadening liner for our refurbished old truck. Worked great. Couldn't find these things locally. Very happy. Don't know how long they last, but for for our project, A+ and we will hang on to them.

I recently built a swim platform for my boat and wanted to cover the fiberglass gel coat with one of those cushioned nonslip flooring materials. The problem is I have a number of fasteners protruding from the top of the platform which hold it to the brackets below. My choice was to just cover the fastener heads with the flooring which would make them inaccessible (and leave a void were the flooring could eventually lift) or cut them out. The better choice in my mind was to cut them out but how do you make a perfectly round hole in a cushioned flooring material so that it looks good? I had contemplated using various sized hole saws and gently trying to drill them out until I happened across these circle cutters. These things worked perfectly. I placed the flooring on a piece of plywood, traced the fastener locations on the flooring, and then proceeded to use the circle cutters to make the holes. To insure that I didn't damage the cutters I put a block of wood on the top of the cutter and struck it with a mallet. Besides protecting the cutter the block of wood distributed the mallet hit more equally across the cutter. All it took was a couple blows and I was left with a perfect hole. I had a couple people ask were I got this mat made for me and were shocked when I told them I made it myself and inquired how I could make such perfectly aligned holes.

These cutters are exactly as described and are working great for my projects.

Cuts nicely. No problems. Useful.

This is a nice set of leather punch shapes that can be used to make holes in leather. A flimsy free case is included and all of the punch tools are strategically placed inside each small compartment. I think if you were to remove them all from the case, you will not be able to put them back so the case can close. Alloc the punch shape pieces fit like a puzzle inside this case. I would recommend removing one at a time and put back before using another one. This way you will be able to close the case. The punch come sharpened but not razor sharp, It took me a few hard hits to punch through 3.5mm thick vegetable tanned leather. They work well as intended and gets the job done if you work carefully. I am going to sharpen the punch I used to see if it speeds the punching process with less effort. A sharp cutter is much smoother to use and goes through the leather like butter. I have high hopes it will work! 🤞. The quality of the steel is pretty durable and didn’t bend or break when used it. Only time will tell how these will hold up. I would also recommend piling them a little after use to prevent rest. I found by using the cheap $5 large black rubber mallet instead of the poly type mallets that is made for peat craft much more efficient in punching the die through the leather. Those black wooden handle rubber mallets can be found at Walmart for cheap in the hardware section. This is a nice set of 56 piece shape cutters for under $20. For occasional use this will work fine and all the many different shape choices to choose from is good to have around when the leather project calls for a certain shape cutout. I rate this product as 5 STARS for value and optimal quality and value.
