Leather Punch?

[budd4766]

I do leatherwork, and yeah, I'm cringing....you can do a lot of damage to a piece with a nail!

I use a punch I'd found in Tractor supply for about $25...comes with the "plier-like" handle, and interchangeable "bits" for different sizes. It's a lot tougher than the rotary punches, though they will work for most stuff.

I am thinking that in the course of normal kilt wearing (especially when it is a uniform) a good leather punch such as this would go a long way.
