Overview
At 2 1/2 inches diameter, this Osborne punch carries a 5.0 rating across its two ratings, with one reviewer confirming fast shipping and an accurate listing. It cuts a single fixed hole size in leather or similar material.
This size sits above Osborne's 2 1/4 inch cutoff for one piece forging, so it is built with the two piece welded barrel used on the line's other larger sizes. Both ratings on file are five star, though the one written review speaks to shipping and accuracy rather than long term wear.
- 2 1/2 inch cutting diameter
- Two piece welded barrel
- Model 149-2-1/2 from Osborne
Who it's for
Buyers who need a 2 1/2 inch hole in leather or similar material and want a size with at least some buyer feedback attached, unlike several other sizes in this line that carry none. Not the right choice for anyone needing multiple hole diameters.
Pros and cons
- 5.0 rating across its two ratings
- Reviewer confirms it matched the listing description
- Sized for common strap and belt hardware
- Only one written review to judge by
- Two piece welded barrel, not forged in one piece
- Single fixed diameter
Performance notes
Like the rest of the 149 series, it is a barrel punch driven through the material by hand or mallet, with an inside taper meant to let the cut disc clear rather than pack the tool. At 2 1/2 inches it falls above Osborne's one piece forging cutoff, so the barrel is welded in two pieces.
