Craftool® Stitching Hole Spring Punch

The spring-loaded mechanism gives just enough resistance to make clean holes without jamming my hand up. Works perfectly on thick leather for saddle stitching.

I've been using this spring punch for a few weeks now, and the controlled punching is a game-changer for my projects. The pressed steel frame feels solid and durable in my hand.

The spring action makes this thing almost effortless—I pressed down maybe twice as hard as I would with a regular awl and it punched through four layers of leather without slipping. The frame feels solid too, no wobble after a dozen holes in a row.
