Waldhausen Revolving Leather Punch Tool for Tack
Description
Waldhausen Revolving Leather Punch Tool
The Waldhausen Revolving Leather Punch is a plier-style hand tool with a rotating head that lets you select from several punch tube sizes to make clean, round holes in leather and webbing. It is designed for horse owners, grooms, livery yards and riding schools who need to adjust bridles, girth straps, stirrup leathers, spur straps and rug fittings without sending tack away to a saddler.
Best for everyday tack room adjustments: a new hole in a girth strap when your horse changes shape, shortening cheekpieces on a bridle, or re-setting stirrup leathers for a different rider. It works equally well on belts, dog collars and yard straps.

FAQ
What can I use this leather punch on?
It is intended for leather and webbing straps such as bridle cheekpieces, girth straps, stirrup leathers, spur straps, rug leg straps, belts and dog collars.
How many hole sizes does it have?
The head revolves between several punch tube sizes, so you can match the hole to your buckle pin. Choose the smallest size the pin passes through comfortably to keep the strap strong.
Will it punch through thick stirrup leathers?
Yes, with the strap supported on a firm surface and a full, steady squeeze of the handles. Very thick or hardened leather may need a second press to clear the waste plug.
How do I stop the hole tearing out?
Keep new holes in line with the existing row, leave adequate spacing between holes, and do not punch too close to the edge of the strap.
How should I look after the punch?
Wipe it dry after use and store it in a dry tack room or tool box so the punch tubes do not corrode. Keep the tool out of reach of children.
Is it suitable for any size of horse's tack?
Yes. Because you make the hole where you need it, it suits pony, cob, full and extra full tack alike.
