Uses for Leathercraft and Repairs

Use these punches to make round openings in leather parts. Alternatively, cut small leather discs for craft projects and repairs.

For example, you can create an opening for a fitting or cut a circular piece for a handmade item. First, check the diameter your project needs. Then test the punch on an offcut before cutting your finished piece.

Choosing the Right Size

Choose Boker Wad Punches by their cutting diameter. This measurement refers to the round cut, rather than the outside width of the tool.

Also, leave enough leather around each hole to keep the piece strong. If you are fitting hardware, check its required hole size before ordering.

How to Use and Care for Your Punch

First, place your material on a suitable punching board. Next, position the cutting edge over your mark and hold the punch upright.

Avoid punching onto metal or concrete, as these surfaces can damage the edge. After use, clear away loose material. Finally, store the tool in a dry place.

What does the punch size mean?
