Leather Hole Punch - Made in Germany - Handheld Professional Tool for Leather Products Herm Sprenger

I hesitated to purchase this, originally being told it wasn’t great for BioThane material, and since I make leashes and collars from leather and BioThane, I really wanted to be able to use it for both. It goes through thick leather like butter, but even more surprising is how well it works with BioThane material - including the super heavy, and super grip variety which is about a quarter thick.I’ve been using this daily for months now and it hasn’t shown any sign that it is becoming dull or lacking in any way. I wanted to wait before reviewing to be sure it would last and continue to perform with heavy use.I originally planned to use it temporarily until I could save for an arbor press, or something designed more for long term use - but so far I don’t see any reason to replace it.The Herm Sprenger name is one I knew well prior to this purchase, and I knew from experience they only make quality equipment, but this exceeded my already high expectations going into it.It’s money well spent.

Great quality and easy to useThis is perfect for heavy materials and soft plastic

Punch holes on my existing belts, perfect holes

This punch gives clean holes. It is a sturdy tool.

We have been using these for years of almost daily use and have learned that we can often get a good 4-5 years of a single punch before it starts losing punch heads. There is no better leather punch on the market and I would highly recommend this. I hope they continue to manufacture this product at the same quality level because it is a wonder!

Love this product

Rims of the individual punch dies along the wheel readily deform if something hard taps against them. In this case it was a block of white oak that it was pushed against. Unfortunately I did not take photos of the issue because I used a mandrel to correct the problem, once they were corrected they performed well. The spring mechanism at the pivot point in the handle however at times will not spring open all the way. Since I only used it on soft buffalo hide I did not consider it an issue, thicker veg/oil/chromium tans may be problematic. I wont be returning it because I think lube or eventual wear will allow it to function normally, either way the punch is worth the money.

I have horses and I always need to punch holes in leather. This is the third punch I have bought. The other two were useless…this one works with ease. There is nothing I have tried it on that it did not work effortlessly on. Very little hand strength is needed. I’m 63 and my hands aren’t as strong as they used to be. It’s nice to find something that really works and works well.

Great product that is high quality and easy to use.

erfüllt voll und ganz meine Erwartung an ein Profiwerkzeug

Ottimo prodotto, finalmente "Made in Germany". Avevo letto recensioni molto buone sul sito tedesco di Amazon che puntualmente ho verificato. Ha forato un cuoio dello spessore di 4 mm come se fosse burro. Se posso dare un consiglio: è utile porre sotto al cuoio una protezione per la piastra perchè la facilità con cui si perfora il cuoio può danneggiare la punta.

Entrega rápida , igual que lo anunciado

Best product. You only get what you pay for. Amazing
