Offering a range of sizes from 3mm to 19mm, this set is perfect for creating custom gaskets, leather crafts, or vinyl modifications with high precision.

No, these punches are designed specifically for soft materials like leather, rubber, vinyl, and gasket materials.
A rubber, polyurethane, or rawhide mallet is recommended. Avoid using a metal-on-metal hammer, as it can deform the strike end of the punch.
Avoid striking the punch against hard surfaces like stone or steel. If they dull over time, use a fine honing stone on the outer edge.
Yes, the precision-ground edges make them suitable for hobbyist and professional tasks requiring accurate, clean holes.
Ensure you are using a solid backing surface like hardwood or a dedicated cutting mat. A soft surface beneath the material will prevent a clean shear.
Use a small screwdriver or stiff wire to gently push the material out from the top opening of the punch.
Use a fine-grit sharpening stone or a round honing file to touch up the inner edge of the cutting flute.
To ensure your punches maintain their longevity, keep the cutting edges clean and dry after every use. If you are working with rubber or plastic that leaves residue, wipe the inner flute with a dry cloth or use a thin wire to dislodge material. Store the tools in a dry environment to prevent surface oxidation. Always use a mallet designed for striking steel tools, such as a rawhide or polyurethane mallet, to avoid damaging the head of the punch.
