Bought these to replace an old, sturdy and very reliable leather punch that was lost on my last move. I wasn't expecting much for the price and was very pleasantly surprised when they arrived. They are quite heavy, well made and work great. All holes are punched very carefully. I think they are just as good as my old US made punch, not what I expected. Smaller stamps tend to be heavily clogged with embossed material and are difficult to get out. cleaned. This happens with every hit. If they clog badly, they may stop breaking through, so removing excess material is important.
