Aiskaer Leather Stitching Punch Set, Diamond Chisel Tools, 4mm White Steel 1/2/4/6 Prong for Leather Craft DIY

I have bought this brand of chisels before and have not had any problems with them. they seem to be sturdy and punch through 8-9 oz ok..

Well made but the teeth on 4, 5, and 6mm tools are wider (hole is longer) than I would prefer but I can easily make them smaller.

A decent lightweight starter set for leather working. They're functionally easy to use and pull out of leather. So far the durability has been good. The handles are a little small so comfort isn't the greatest. Pretty good value but you will want to upgrade as you progress in leatherworking.

Compared to a cheap set of punches I bought a few years ago, these punches are leagues better. They punched through a double thick belt with ease, and make easily visible holes for saddle stitching. Occasionally I do follow up with an awl, although most of the time that isn't necessary.

Very sharpe and durable. Awesome quality cuts into leather with ease.

Good tools

These are nice for being affordable. The finish between the tines is not polished, but not so rough it damages the leather like other cheaper stitching chisels. For a tool that will be used all the time, my suggestion is to spend the money up front for the quality ones instead of spending more money by buying with the intention to upgrade later. However, if you are in a position like mine where you need a stitching chisel on a budget and have reasons to not wait to save, this is the one. If you are doing maybe one or two projects, these would also be good for that.I was able to polish the tines for mine so it works very well now. Although it required less polishing, it still needs it if you plan to use it a lot before upgrading. The metal is soft and I suspect it would bend easily. It also doesn't hold the sharpness of the edges (the purpose of the diamond shape) and point as well.Overall I would buy more sizes from Aiskaer if I am still under budget when I need another size. However, for a critical tool like these. I would prefer to buy quality and skip the upgrade path since I will be in this craft for a very long time. If you must buy as cheap as you can, this is about the best before going into the tools that need serious finishing before being usable. I'm happy with these stitching chisels in the context of my situation, but not going to lie, don't have high expectations.
