2pcs Leather Piercing Tools Punching Hole Sewing Awl with Wood Handle

Product Information

Many tools can make a hole in a leather piece. Though, there are a few tools designed specifically for leather hole punching. A general name for all leather-punching tools is “an awl”. Though, most manufacturers use the term “leather punch”.

A leather punch specifically for creating gaps in leather is a hole punch. A hollow steel tube with a sharp circular knife-like edge is the functioning tip of the punch. Against a hard floor, which may be part of the tool kit, the leather piece is put and the punch is pushed into it, carving out a tiny oval piece that is discarded. Steels with less carbon or no carbon are much harder to sharpen but will keep their sharpened edge much longer. The most expensive piercing tools will strive for balance by using higher-grade steel. Regardless of the type of steel used, the item needs to be sharpened and polished.

You would be able to replicate it this way on the watch strap and drill a hole that is nicely placed, centered and sharp-looking. What is a punch tool used for?

I personally dont recommend using the wooden mallet, unless you have limited budget. Rawhide or plastic is durable and will work great. Perfect to strike your punch and stamp tools.
