Well, which is it? Works well enough on thin material, or doesn't work at all? Other recommendations?

These tools were unbelievable dull. I managed to sharpen the one I needed on a bench grinder and make do, but it's not easy. I was trying to punch through 1/16" rubber which isn't that hard.

I have only used in once cutting some holes in Termi-mesh(Termite Barrier Mesh) which is Stainless, I only had to give the hole punch one hit with my hammer and it, the hole punch I used cut through the Termi-mesh with ease.

Total piece of crap. Don't buy this set. I was punching through canvas and the edges bend over and inward, deforming and making the tools useless in three whacks. Wasnlt hitting it with a sledgehammer either, just a normal hammer and with moderate force.

I have used this punch set to cut 31cal to 50cal flintlock rifle wads and patches in such materials as .015 pillow ticking, cloth, cork, leather, felt, soft craft rubber, card board, fiber board with out any problems. Use old magazine as a cutting board and hard rubber hammer so not to to damage punches. Have cut hundreds of wads and patches and only had to lightly go over the punches with a mill basted file nothing stays sharp for ever. You be the judge.

haven't tried it yet---but I don't know why it would not work on thin materials. Sorry.

It works on vinyl and will work on spandex/clothing... I just don't know how long it will stay. I used the excess I had left on an old pair of adidas sandals (the stripes) and nearly 3months later, despite all the wear and beach/rain/water, they still glow strong... I don't know what you have intended, but machine washing I haven't tested... As far as reacting to substances vinyl will work no issue, spandex will def work at 1st, just up in the air how low if it's going to be washed... :) hope that helps

Imo, only good on plastic material. I tried on my fake leather part, it leave residue.

I've used it on leather, rubber and thin cotton and it punched a nice even hole on all of them. I'd say it'd work fine on felt too!

I wouldn't use it on anything delicate, or on something that might snag. I have used it on a wool blazer/jacket with success, and also on dark khakis.

Carmen: I have tried it on ribbon and it works well. Careful about getting it to hot or it will singe the material. Off course it depends a lot on the material in the ribbon. The more nylon the better.

I have used it on a sweater and it worked really well. Just test it on a small area...however my best guess is YES.

The product u are looking at is a well made one that works very well. I am sure it will work on a pet leash. I used it on my heavy work belt an it worked very well. Don't think it is made for thin material, but it might. This is a very well made tool that will be used for many years. This is not one of those cheap tools that is good for 2 or3 uses. Buy with confidence. You won't be disappointed.

Well, I do not have very thin documents, but I checked anyway my Nozlen Expanding Document Poster Tubes. All have very clean cuts, so I thought since I have no problems, with mydocuments and drawings; I will help Mr. DeMayo and tested 200 Grid sandpaper just for the hack. It worked fine, so no problems before and none from now one.

Have only used it on clothes and works great. Should work on any fabric. The batteries die very quickly.

Works great to adhere fabrics, not sure "kids jumping on it" would be sturdy with any adhesive.

Heck yeah you could and I have. It works on anything vinyl/plastic though it might make it greasy. I would suggest armor all on something like that.

The tape is very weak. It will hold a piece of paper on a wall. That's about it. I use it a LOT though, for many different applications, including notes on wall, or tape a gift Visa card inside a birthday card, etc. For the application that you describe, it is worth a shot but I think success is likely 50/50 at best.

This will work. Not paper thin at all. I use it on carrots as well as papayas, etc ...

It would "work" on anything, but I'm pretty sure that rain would rinse it off, so it's probably not the best solution.

Don't know as I have never tried it to my recollection. I have used it on canvas where it works like a champ. Jack

Just got this,still brand new,no problem so far. If the suction doesn't work, can you use tape? Worst way,but probably works
