I ordered this punch because I drove my old model to despair. I've tried these pliers only twice. The result in my leather belt was absolutely Order. The holes are punched out cleanly. Something I had to force yet so muster up the last remnant broke. I'm a little disappointed by the seller: Since a too long delivery time and postage with 5.95 for as was a small part of much too expensive (.... has nothing to do with the review). From me is 4 stars
