Overview
A single 2 inch C.S. Osborne arch punch in carbon steel, with a polished barrel and black enamel handle, model 565-149-2. Built for leatherworkers who need this one hole diameter rather than a boxed range.
Osborne tapers the inside of the barrel so punched-out leather clears rather than jamming the tool, and the polished bore plus enamel handle point to a punch meant for repeated shop use. Feedback here is thin, a single five star review, but that reviewer's note about needing real force on tough leather is worth knowing before you buy.
- 2 inch diameter, model 565-149-2
- Carbon steel body
- Polished barrel with black enamel handle
- Tapered bore clears punched material
Who it's for
Leatherworkers who need a clean 2 inch hole and are comfortable striking a punch hard. Anyone wanting a spread of sizes should look at a boxed set instead of this single punch.
Pros and cons
- Cuts a clean hole through tough leather per the one review on file
- Inside taper clears punched material rather than jamming
- Only one review to judge durability against
- Requires a firm, hard strike on dense leather
Performance notes
The inside taper lets punched material clear through the barrel instead of packing it, and the polished bore reduces drag on the cut piece. It is carbon steel with a black enamel handle, struck by hand or mallet.
