I am a hobbyist leather crafter and wanted to speed up the cutting of leather by hand. I didn't feel like spending 3,000 + on a power clicker so I got this one. I use it to punch 3 pieces of leather at a time (2-3 oz) veg tan or upholstery leather. plenty of pressing power to do that trick.No more hand cutting based on paper designs - this hand punch press saves tons of time.buy the dyes or have them made this device just works.p.s. its heavy ! and a good value.
