HOW IT WORKS
HOW IT WORKS
Pick the punch that matches the width of your strap. Lay the strap on something you do not mind cutting into, a poly cutting board or an end grain block, because the edge has to go all the way through. Sit the mouth of the punch over the end of the strap and look down the shank to check it is square. Then strike the flat top once with a mallet. Lift the punch, and the rounded end and the offcut come away separately.

FAQs
FAQs
Do I need a mallet?
Yes. These are struck punches, so you hit the flat top of the shank with a mallet or a maul. A mallet is not included. If you already punch holes or set hardware you almost certainly have one, and if you do not, any leatherworking mallet will do.
Does it punch holes?
No, and this is the one worth reading twice. These take a half circle bite out of an edge, which is how you round off the end of a strap. If you want round holes down the length of a belt, that is our Hole Puncher, a different tool.
Which size do I use?
Match the punch to the width of the strap. A punch the same width as the strap gives you a full half round end. A narrower one gives you a shallower curve. Nine sizes from 10mm to 50mm covers watch straps at one end and belts and bag handles at the other.
What can I cut with it?
Leather, and the thinner craft materials that behave like it: veg tan, chrome tan, suede, BioThane, felt and heavy card. It is a leather tool. It is not for metal, and it is not for anything hard enough to turn the edge.
Do I need to cut on something special?
Something you can cut into. The edge passes right through the leather, so a poly cutting board or an end grain block goes underneath. A cutting mat works. Cutting on a bench top will mark the bench and dull the punch.

Stop Cutting Strap Ends With a Knife!
One Strike and the End Is Round
Cutting a strap end freehand means drawing round the edge of a coin, then trying to follow the line with a knife. One side always comes out fuller than the other, and you see it every time you look at the belt. This does the whole curve in one go. Set the mouth over the end of the strap, hit the top of the shank once, and lift. The end comes out round, and the two shoulders match.
9 Sizes, One for Every Strap You Got
The set runs from 10mm up to 50mm, so there is a punch that matches the width of whatever you are working on. The small ones are watch strap and collar territory. The big ones take the end off a belt or a bag handle in a single strike. You are matching the curve to the strap instead of making one radius do for everything.
One Piece of Steel, Nothing to Work Loose
Each punch is a single piece of steel from the struck end to the cutting edge. There is no handle to come loose, no screw to back out, no spring to tire. You hit it, it cuts, and it goes back in the drawer. Nine of them take up about as much room as a handful of pencils.
What You'll Round Off
-
Belts
The end of a belt, finished properly. A rounded tip feeds through a keeper without catching and does not start to curl at the corners the way a square cut does.
-
Watch Straps
The small punches are sized for strap work. Both ends come out the same shape, which is the part that is almost impossible to do twice by hand.
-
Bag Straps and Handles
Shoulder straps, handles and tabs. A round end takes the wear instead of a corner that frays first and then keeps going.
-
Dog Collars
A collar end that sits flat against the buckle and has nothing sharp to dig in. One strike per collar.
-
Wallets and Card Holders
Walk the punch along an edge and the bites join up into a scalloped border. The same tool that finishes a strap end decorates a flap.
Or Walk It Along the Edge
Line the mouth up with the last bite you took and strike again. Repeat down the edge and the half circles run into each other as a scalloped border. It is the same tool doing a different job, and it is the reason a set of nine is worth more than the one size you thought you needed.
