The other end is usually made of solid steel, providing an area to be struck with a hammer, mallet, or maul. The drive punch jig is made of plywood with holes drilled in it and a cutting board base for easy punching and is just as wide as the belt is. There are many punching tools sold on Aliexpress and can cost much less than the above alternatives. A leather ventilator punch is a metal tool that punches a group of round holes into leather material.

A Japanese screw punch has a mechanical action, most commonly made out of bronze, that rotates the punch 90 degrees as the handle is pushed down into the work surface. Some have interchangeable punches, making it easy to have any 6 or so available at a time, quickly accessible at the spin of a turret and squeeze of the grip. Leather oval punches are metal tools with a cutting edge used to create oval-shaped holes in leather material. There is usually an opening in the punch near the cutting end to insert a thin metal wire and push to release the cut leather material.Also, there are many sets that include punches for various shapes such as squares, rectangles, or irregular shapes. For example, Japanese-style pricking irons have diamond shape tips and create diamond shape slits while French-style pricking irons create narrow slits. When working with button studs, they join leather by pushing through a hole that is slightly smaller than the stud.

A brogue punch is a T-shaped punch with a set of several small punches in two diameters that create the brogueing pattern. Generally, to use a hole puncher, a piece of leather that is to be punched is placed on a nylon surface, on top of a hard, sturdy surface (such as granite). Ventilator punches make it easy to punch multiple small, grouped holes in leather goods where air flow can be helpful. The time to punch six holes was determined by finding a video of each process and counting the seconds it took from start to finish. It’s important to use a plastic/rubber/rawhide/wood mallet because a metal hammer will quickly mushroom the striking end of the punch.Once the punch size is selected, the leather is placed in the pliers’ jaws, and the pliers are squeezed close until the punch blade pushes through to meet the anvil. The softer nylon surface protects the punch blade from damage, and the granite absorbs much of the force.
