Our handy 1/2 inch oblong punch is a must for any leather project requiring buckle slots or a slot to run a leather strap through. The top is removable to empty the leather wads. Help protect your table top surface by using this product with Poundo Board or Poly Cutting Board. A lot of leather shops have a wooden tree stump for a solid base when punching holes and use a piece of scrap leather as a cutting pad to make the blade of their punch last longer.
