FAQs
Can I use these punches on metal sheets?
No, these are designed specifically for soft materials like leather, felt, and rubber. Using them on metal will permanently damage the cutting edges.
What is the best surface to cut on?
We recommend using a self-healing cutting mat, a dense rubber pad, or a block of end-grain wood to protect the tool's sharpness.
How do I change the punch size?
Simply remove the current punch from the handle and insert your desired size until it snaps firmly into the grooved locking position.
Are these punches stainless steel?
The set is made from high-grade alloy steel, which is hardened for strength. It should be kept clean and dry to prevent rust.
What kind of hammer should I use?
A mallet with a softer face, such as nylon, poly, or wood, is recommended to preserve the integrity of the punch handle and cutting edge.
Troubleshooting
Punch is failing to cut through the material cleanly.
Ensure you are using a soft backing surface. If the surface is too hard, the edge will bounce; if too soft, it may not provide enough resistance. Also, check that the punch is being struck squarely.
Punch head feels loose in the handle.
Check the groove on the punch body for debris or foreign material that might be preventing the locking mechanism from engaging fully.
Material is stuck inside the punch tube.
Use a thin wire or a punch cleaning tool to push the material out through the side clearance hole in the punch body.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup is straightforward: simply slide the chosen punch head into the handle receiver until you hear or feel the lock engage. The set is compatible with a wide array of soft, compressible materials including leather, felt, gasket rubber, and thick cork.
To ensure the longevity of your tools:
- Always use a soft striking surface; never strike against metal or concrete as this will dull the cutting edge instantly.
- Apply a light coat of machine oil to the steel punches if storing for extended periods to prevent oxidation.
- Clean the inside of the hollow punch head after each use to remove stuck material debris.
- Store the components in a cool, dry place away from humidity.
