Leather hole punches: precision and durability
The leather hole punches developed by Eprose meet the expectations of leatherworkers and saddlers seeking precision, durability, and ease of use. Made from hardened steel, they ensure clean, burr-free cuts suitable for both soft and thick leathers. Their professional-grade edge guarantees minimal wear and high resistance to repeated impact.
How to choose the right leather punch?
The choice of punch depends on the type of cut to be made. Eprose offers several shapes:
- Round: ideal for perforations for eyelets, rivets, or snap fasteners.
- Oval and oblong: suited for loops, straps, and decorative cuts.
The diameter or length should be selected according to the specific needs of the project, whether for small leather goods, belts, or saddlery items.
What is the best usage method?
The effectiveness of a punch depends on its use with a suitable cutting base. A high-density polyethylene plate or thick rubber pad protects the edge and extends the life of the tool. Using a wooden or polyurethane mallet helps apply even force without damaging the punch.
How to maintain your punch?
Proper maintenance extends the lifespan of this impact tool. After use, it is advisable to clean the blade to avoid leather residue buildup. Occasional light sharpening keeps the edge sharp. Storing in a dry place prevents rust and preserves cutting performance.
Why choose Eprose punches?
Designed and manufactured in Thiers, at the heart of the French cutlery tradition, Eprose punches are built to offer artisans lasting performance and working comfort. Their manufacturing precision ensures controlled, consistent cuts—essential for professional-grade leatherwork.
