General Tools 1271ST Arch Punch Set, 7 Piece Set, 1/4 Inch to 1 Inch

These punches are great, take the advice of other reviews and sharpen them before use!

I was looking for a punch set that would work on felted wool at a good price. This set has worked out perfectly. The cutting edges are sharp enough to cut through felted wool with one hit. There are various sizes. This is a lifetime tool.

These have been great so far compared to ones that cost way more money. The only issue I had was one was dented in at the cutting blade and causes an imperfect circle cut. Im going to see if this can be filed out myself. I use these for wool punching for applique.

Perfect tool to use to make gasket holes, it aligns perfect when making gasket holes.

I wish I would have paid more money for better tools. They are not as sharp as advertised and had grease still inside of them. When I punched holes onto the leather project, there was a grease ring along the edges. Not the end of the world, but heads up. The tools will do the job, but I’m definitely going to upgrade asap. I won’t buy from this company again

I have always liked the overall quality of General Hand tools, and these punches are no exception. They are a real value as long as you have the experience, patience, and sharpening skills to finish the cutting edges of each punch to cut up to 10 oz. vegetable tanned leather with a single blow of a 16 oz. poly maul.I am quite pleased with my choice of larger fully round hole punches, [1/4" - 1"].

I have to stamp out all sorts of materials and these are really good quality, and in a good case.

I wanted to punch out circles in thin wool fabric. Given that these are supposed to cut leather, they are a failure. I have to hit the punch a dozen times with a metal hammer on the suggested pad and I still have to trim the circle with scissors. I will probably return these.
