Review on ๐Ÿ”ช Straight-Cut Leather Wallet Punches by Denise Davis

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Suitable for making gaskets for machine parts

I bought them for cutting fibrous gasket material (Fel-Pro part 3027). They arrived sharp and burr-free at the cutting edge. The kit is sized in 5mm increments which is perfect for cutting precise shapes to fit the gasket I need. Using a wooden block under the fiber pad and a nail hammer, they cut the pad cleanly and precisely, and it was quicker than using scissors. As a set, I would also recommend the Lang Tools 950 11 Piece Gasket Punch Set for creating rounded corners. Between these two items and using Prussion Blue dye to transfer the gasket pattern, I was able to make an inline 6 intake manifold gasket in under an hour, with results that exceeded my expectations for a hand-made gasket. I didn't give 5 stars as I haven't tried using them for leathercrafting, so I can't confirm their functionality in this craft.

Pros
  • Punching
Cons
  • Something else
