Description
The Maxi Punch Set gives you a choice of round hole sizes for leather belts, straps and other leathercraft projects. Changing the tube lets you adjust the hole diameter while continuing to use the same handle. This is useful when working with different buckle tongues or preparing holes for fittings that require a larger opening. Whether you are making a new belt, replacing a worn strap or planning a handmade bag, choosing the right hole size helps you achieve a tidy result and a suitable fit.

Choosing Your Hole Size
Check the dimensions of the buckle tongue or fitting before selecting a tube. A hole that is too small can make assembly difficult, while an oversized opening may leave the fitting loose.
Test your chosen size on a scrap of the same leather before punching the finished piece. This also gives you an opportunity to check your layout and see how the leather responds.
Using the Punch Set
Mark each hole position carefully, keeping the spacing consistent and allowing enough leather around the opening. Fit the selected tube securely into the handle and support the leather on a suitable punching board.
Hold the tool upright when punching. Avoid punching directly onto concrete, metal or another hard surface that could damage the cutting edge.
Why Choose an Interchangeable Set?
A shared handle keeps your working setup compact and makes it convenient to move between hole sizes. Keep the tubes organised so you can find the required diameter quickly during your next project.
