Waldhausen Heavy Duty Revolving Leather Punch
Description
Waldhausen Heavy Duty Revolving Leather Punch
The Waldhausen Heavy Duty Revolving Leather Punch is a hand-held saddlery tool that punches clean holes in leather tack, straps and belts, with six rotating tubes covering hole sizes from 2 mm to 4.5 mm. It is best for riders, grooms and saddlers who regularly adjust stirrup leathers, bridle cheekpieces, girth straps, headcollars and spur straps, and it saves up to 70% of the power usually needed for punching holes.
Built from special steel with strong vinyl coated handles, it is designed for repeated yard and tack room use rather than occasional household jobs, although it works just as well on belts, dog collars and watch straps.

- Lay the strap flat and position the marked point under the punch tube.
- Squeeze the handles firmly and evenly until the tube passes through the leather.
- Release, remove the leather plug if it stays in the tube, and check the hole edge is clean.
- Wipe the tool down and store it dry, oiling the pivot occasionally to keep the head turning freely.
