Overview
One buyer's leatherworking use confirms what this 2 3/8 inch Osborne punch is for: cutting clean holes in leather, with a shipping hiccup the seller made right. It holds a 5.0 rating from its one review.
At 2 3/8 inches this size falls just above Osborne's 2 1/4 inch cutoff for one piece forging, so like the line's larger sizes it is built with a two piece welded barrel. The listing carries no separate attribute data beyond the title, so the buyer review is the clearest confirmation of how it actually gets used.
- 2 3/8 inch cutting diameter
- 5.0 rating from 1 review
- Confirmed used for leather work
- Model 149-2-3/8 from Osborne
Who it's for
Leatherworkers who need a 2 3/8 inch hole and want at least one confirmed real world use case before buying. Not for buyers who want a full spec sheet, since this listing's attribute data is missing.
Pros and cons
- Confirmed in actual leather work by a buyer
- 5.0 rating on its one review
- Two piece welded barrel sized for mid range holes
Performance notes
As with the rest of Osborne's 149 series, the barrel is driven through the material to cut a clean disc, with an inside taper meant to let the cutout clear rather than jam. Sizes above 2 1/4 inches, this one included, use a two piece welded barrel rather than a single forging.
