52 Shape Style One Hole Hollow Punch Cutter Set for Handmade DIY Leather Craft

Arrived on time, in new condition, packaged well. These are sold as leather cutting tools, but I ordered them to use with polymer clay for jewelry design. The case the cutters come in is easy to open and close, sturdy and compact. Of the cutters I have used, about 15, they are well made, cut cleanly through various thicknesses of clay, and are a good size for clay jewelry components. I did have 2 that the seam needed pressed tiny bit with a flat nose plier to get a perfectly clean cut with conditioned clay but it was no big deal to make the adjustment. With leather, I suspect it would not even have been detectable and that it what the tools are actually intended for, which is why I didn't detract from the 5 star rating I gave. I would definitely recommend these to other polymer clay artists looking for some well priced, quality cutters for jewelry making. That are sharp, so would suggest that they are not appropriate for children's use.

I purchased this set to shorten a leather belt from the buckle end. It has many sizes of each shape and the shape I was most interested in was the oblong one for the buckle prong hole. This set had several oblong punches and one was spot on and matched the oblong hole in the full length belt. I used my 3 ton arbor press to push the punches through the leather with a piece of wood under the leather The punch cut like butter. A 3 ton arbor press is way overkill for this application but it is what I have and an arbor press gives more control than trying to hit the punches with a hammer. An inspensive 1/2 ton arbor press would work fine.

These things work well, but realize some of them come apart, the weld breaks. It will still work, but it will leave a little piece on your leather, like if a circle is not fully closed. But other than that, these things will save you a lot of money.

Material is very good

These are great condition cutters they’re very well made. But I would NOT recommend for polymer clay crafting. The cutters are very long and small so it is hard to get the clay out and keep a nice shape. I’m sure they would work great for any other project just not clay related ones

The product itself works nicely (I actually bought for polymer clay jewelry) but the case it came in was very grimy, and the pieces themselves had grease and debris all over them. I tried my best to clean them but when I tried to use on the clay the grease inside the shapes got on the clay :( I really like the product, but I expected more cleanliness, hopefully I'll be able to use it on the clay without ruining it.

Los compre para mi novia que hace ceramica y le encantan. Tambien funcionan muy bien para arcilla polimerica. Son de metal, muy robustos y tienen su peso. Se nota la calidad del material

Some of the shapes are a little irregular (i.e. not perfect circle), but not objectionably so.Since the sizes are the most common question, here's a list of what I got(all sizes are approximate and in mm). Remember that I have no idea if you will get the same thing:Circle: 21, 15, 13, 10, 7 , 5Square: 19, 16, 13, 10, 8, 7Round ended rectangles: 40x10, 34x 6, 30x10, 28x5, 26x4, 25x16, 25x10, 22x5, 19x16, 19x5, 18x3, 15x5, 13x9, 10x5, 10x3Rectangles: 50x8, 40x9, 30x13, 30x8, 25x19, 22x8, 21x12, 18x14, 15x10, 15x8, 10x7Half Circle: 30x17, 26x13Teardrop: 30x10, 27x17, 25x8, 22x14, 19x13, 17x11Bulging rectangle: 35L x 7w(ends) x 11w(middle)Square top keyhole: 30x20x13, 19x11x7Round top keyhole: 25x16x10

Shapes were deformed, with tack welded joints that kept pinching my leather.Returned.You get what you pay for.
