Punch oval Zakhmatov 8x5mm

Oval punch Zakhmatov made of tool steel 9ХС, with a polished working surface. The ideal shape of the cutting part of the punch allows you to make neat holes in thick leather (the working part is hardened to 55HRC). They are mainly used to obtain oval holes for the buckle tongue.

Size: 8.0 x 5.0 mm

Please note the prongs are designed to snap, rather than bend, to give ultimate hardness and prevent undetected bent prongs from ruining your leatherwork. Therefore, always use a soft headed hammer or mallet (never metal) and tap it into your leather work gently. When removing the prongs from your leather always pull it out of your leatherwork straight, never shift it side to side to loosen it or this could snap the prongs. It is recommended to lubricate your prongs with wax from time to time to allow for easier removal.
