Product Information

An awl is a tool that is typically used for piercing holes in leather. Although awls are mainly used to make tiny insertions for stitching, they can also be used for punching holes into leather belts, with the help of a mallet. How to Use an Awl & a Mallet to Punch Holes in Leather Belts It may take a few attempts to fully penetrate your leather belt. If that happens, repeat the same process by stretching the belt and pushing the nail through it using your pliers. Method 3: Using an Awl & a Mallet The flip side of the equation is what to do when you’re punching holes in the middle of a large piece of leather. A rotary punch can only punch holes two to three inches away from the side of the leather. It won’t reach any farther toward the middle of the piece. A leather belt hole punch is a T-shaped drive punch with multiple punch heads spaced evenly in a line across the top of the “T.” These are used just like a regular drive punch but they create four holes at once and are used to punch the holes in the billet end of a belt, as the name implies. Although there is a wide variety of leather hole punches available in the market, they may not be readily available to you. The good news is that you’ll be able to use other tools and methods to punch holes in your leather belt.

Start by keeping the belt firmly stretched on a surface, with one end beneath your foot and the other end in your hand so that you can easily create the hole. After a few minutes, when the nail is heated sufficiently, push the point of the nail where you want to make a hole and apply pressure. Take note that this may take a couple of attempts. 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. Leathercraft is popular in America, not only for fun but also for profit. It is in the top ten of the most profitable hobbies. Key considerations Convenience When you need a tool for DIY, household use, just to make some additional piercings in a belt, strap, watchband or dig collar, a revolving tool with 6 round punches is commonly suitable. These will be cheaper and need to be replaced more often. According to research by Katea Luaibi Hamid, Nader Majed Moustafa, and Amer Fadhel Noori published in the Journal of Mechanical Engineering Research and Development, the carbon content of steel affects its durability. SharpnessThe highest quality punches/pliers are made of drop forged high carbon steel. These will last a lifetime. Lower quality doesn’t necessarily mean bad, but they will typically just say “steel” or sometimes not even that. Buttonhole, also known as keyhole or tailed, punches produce a round hole with a small slit off to one side. These are used with button studs or ball head rivets that slide into the hole and then slip into the slit to keep the flap closed. Oval/Square/Teardrop

So, select the suitable leatherworking tools, according to their application, materials you process, your needs and preferences. I hope, this review helps you to make an informative tools choice. Neiko 02612A: The Most Powerful, Heavy-Duty Hole Puncher Tools Set Compared to a power drill, we only recommend hand drills for smaller-sized holes. This is because the drill bits for hand drills are typically smaller in size drilling larger holes takes a lot more effort. How to Use a Hand Drill to Punch Holes in Leather BeltsDepending on the weight of the leather you’re working with, the punch plates will be under a lot of strain. Having extras on hand in case one breaks means you don’t have to stop and run down to the craft store to get a replacement. Material Start with the same setup as a drive punch (work surface, hard surface, cutting mat/board, leather). Select a punch diameter and ensure it is securely screwed into the base. Holding the tool perpendicular to the workpiece, place the cutting end on the leather and push straight down into the leather using your hand like you would with an awl. A simple punch and chisel collection is everything that would ever be needed for many individuals, including metal cutting chisels and a variety of punch heads. Comfortable handles, durable, powder coated body is desirable for everyday, professional or outdoor use, and the items, covered by a long-time warranty are preferable.
