Product Information
Full details
This Maun Heavy Duty Revolving Leather Hole Punch Plier is designed for professionals and serious DIYers working with thick leather. Its key benefit is the compound-lever assistance, which significantly reduces the hand force required for punching, minimizing fatigue during repetitive tasks. A potential caveat is its robust design, making it more suitable for thicker materials than very thin or delicate ones. This tool offers six different round hole sizes (2.0mm to 4.8mm), indexing for accuracy, and a durable, rust-proof construction made in Germany.

FAQs
What is the smallest and largest hole size this plier makes?
The plier offers six hole sizes: 2.0 mm, 2.4 mm, 2.8 mm, 3.2 mm, 4.0 mm, and 4.8 mm in diameter.
Can this plier be used on materials other than leather?
While optimized for leather, it can potentially punch through other tough, pliable materials like canvas or heavy fabric, provided they are within the thickness limitations.
How much force does the lever assistance reduce?
The compound-lever assisted handles require up to 70% less hand force compared to standard revolving punch pliers.
What is the recommended maximum thickness of leather for this tool?
The tool is suitable for use on leather greater than 1.5 mm thick, indicating it's designed for substantial, heavy-duty applications.
How do I change between punch sizes?
Rotate the turret until the desired punch size aligns with the anvil. The indexing mechanism will securely lock it in place.
Is this tool suitable for continuous, high-volume work?
Yes, the heavy-duty design and lever assistance are intended to reduce hand fatigue during continuous use, making it suitable for demanding tasks.
Where is this tool manufactured?
This tool is made in Germany.
Troubleshooting
Punch is not cutting cleanly through leather.
Ensure the correct punch size is selected and securely indexed. Verify the leather is not thicker than recommended. Check if the punch tip is sharp; consider replacement if worn. Ensure the material is positioned correctly against the anvil.
Lever feels stiff or difficult to operate.
Clean any debris from the pivot points and lever mechanism. Apply a light lubricant (e.g., oil) to the moving parts. Check for any obstructions or damage to the lever system.
Punch is misaligned or not centered.
Confirm that the punch is fully engaged with the indexing mechanism before striking. Ensure the material is held steady and correctly positioned under the punch.
Rust appears on the tool.
Clean the affected area with a soft cloth. Apply a rust remover if necessary, then wipe dry. Apply a light coat of oil to all metal surfaces for protection. Store in a dry environment.
