Description
Ever find it difficult to punch stitch holes in leather? Or afraid that you make too much noise hammering your fork punch and disturb your neighbours? PRESSLY can help!
Using its arbour press style rack-and-pinion mechanism, you can silently punch your stitch holes with ease!
Despite its plastic build, I designed it in a way that maximises its strength and durability, managing to ( through my testing ) punch through >4 layers of leather accurately applying my full body weight.
Gears are reinforced with M3 bolts and the herringbone teeth reinforces against shearing.
