Sizes shown include small metric diameters from 2 mm to 4.5 mm, some fractional imperial sizes such as 7/16" and 1/2", and the lever-style model produces a 1/4" (0.25") hole.

Common features include a 2-inch reach from the edge, a lock to keep the tool closed, a waste receptacle for cut pieces, and soft silicone grips for added comfort.

Many are made from carbon steel or heat-treated/high‑carbon steel; some use alloy steel or other metal constructions.

They’re described for leather and similar materials such as paper, rubber, canvas, plastic, fabric, thin tin, and chipboard.

Some hand punches include a slot or widened chip‑removal groove for clearing cut material; the lever‑style punch shown includes a built‑in waste receptacle to hold cut pieces until emptied.
