This robust steel screw punch creates clean, precise 1.6mm and 2.3mm holes for rivets and fittings in sheet metal and leather.

What it does

Applying firm pressure to the T-bar handle drives a sharp, hardened steel punch through your chosen material. The precisely machined jaws ensure a clean cut without deforming delicate workpieces, creating perfectly round apertures every time. Its solid steel construction guarantees durability and consistent performance through countless applications on the bench.

How to use it

  • Position material firmly beneath the chosen punch size.
  • Apply steady downward pressure to the T-bar handle.
  • Gently twist the punch to clear the aperture.

Who it's for

An essential tool for UK bench jewellers, silversmiths, and leatherworkers needing reliable rivet holes. It’s also ideal for watchmakers and keen hobbyists working with thin metals, replacing multiple single-size punches for efficiency.

Common questions at the bench

What metal does this punch work on?
Our steel letter, number, and design punches are heat-treated to strike non-ferrous metals: silver (sterling, fine), copper, brass, bronze, aluminium, gold. Striking hardened steel will damage the face. For pewter and very soft alloys, use light strikes.
What size impression do I need?
1–2 mm for ring shanks and small pieces (initials, hallmark-style); 3–4 mm for pendant backs and signed plaques; 5 mm+ for presentation pieces and stamped jewellery components. Bigger is not always better — a clean small mark reads better than a struggle with an oversized one.
What do I strike it with?
A 1–2 lb brass mallet on a polished steel bench block. Do not use a steel hammer — it will deform the punch over time. One firm strike beats two soft ones for a clean impression.
How do I keep the punch sharp?
Polished punches stay sharp for thousands of strikes if you are hitting cleanly on a flat block. If the face starts blurring impressions, polish lightly with 600-grit emery, then a buffing mop on a polishing motor. Replace before the face deforms further.
