Customer Reviews:

Great tool but greasy.... [Posted on 2008-02-24]
Order was placed on 1/7/08 and the order was received on 1/10/08. I am
completely satisfied with the way it works, but have a few comments on
the tool.

It was nicely packaged but once it was opened I discovered a very
greasy tool that needs a thorough cleaning. Especially the extra
punchers that are screwed to the handle. In addition, the handles
appear to be a little rusted. Finally, the area that the extra punchers
are kept was not finished with care. It seems like when the holes were
made where the pieces screw in, the metal that was take out was not
cleaned. Despite this, I am satisfied how it punches holes in my leather
belts. Depending on the belt, you might need to give it a very tight squeeze.

Nice [Posted on 2008-05-05]
Good Product. Easy to use and really creates a nice hole in the leather.

Leather Punch [Posted on 2008-05-11]
The leather punch from AMERICAN SCIENCE & SURPLUS is exactly what I needed, it works perfectly, and has a variety of sizes to choose from.

Heavy duty leather punch [Posted on 2008-06-19]
I find this punch to be a very fine product. It definitely is very solid and heavy duty. I prefer its design of individual punches as opposed to the punch wheel type. I've used it once to punch an additional hole in a belt, but look forward to using it again and again.

great handle, adequate cutting tubes [Posted on 2008-10-06]
The cutting tube of this tool is well aligned with the brass cutting-anvil on the other side of the punch, and it gives no indication of drifting or wobbling like so many of the light weight ones end up doing.
At 18.6 oz,I don't find the weight excessive, but rather reassuring, it was also not excessively oily. My only complaint about the handle is that as the jaws come together, the last ~3/8" gets really tight, meaning that functionally the jaw is only 1 1/4" deep unless your leather is Very thin. This could be fixed at home with a file, but I am a bit irritated.
The cutting tubes are adequate, but I find I have to punch from both sides of a piece or do a lot of twisting to get the hole all the way through. "Hot poker through butter" is not how I would describe it. Adequate.
Because these are screw-in bits, other bits can be purchased and screwed in, if you find the right size. The threading is standard for punches but the overall length of the cutting tubes is one inch, which is not the same as [TANDY-LEATHER-MINI-PUNCH-SET-w-CHANGEABLE-TUBES|this punch set], so be sure to check the length before you buy any replacement cutting tubes.
