Working with the Round Strap End Punch

Belt Punch

Drive Punch

Oval drive punches are great for punching the adjustment holes on a heavy belt. It allows the strap to sit comfortably in the buckle and makes it easy to buckle and unbuckle the belt. Watch as Chuck demonstrates this handy drive punch.



Working with the Revolving Punch

Chuck Dorsett calls Weaver Leather Craft Supply’s Economy Revolving Punch (CSO223) the mainstay of every leather shop.



Compound Action Revolving Punch
