Key Features
Six Hole Sizes The rotating head gives you six punch diameters in one hand tool, so you can switch sizes fast without digging through separate punches. Built for Repeated Use The body and punches are made from special tool steel and oil-hardened, which matters when you need clean holes without the tool wearing out early. Faster Hand Operation An opening spring and locking lever make the Knipex 90 70 220 revolving punch pliers easier to open, close, store, and grab for quick layout and punching work.
Overview
The Knipex 90 70 220 Revolving Punch Pliers are a manual revolving punch tool built for making clean holes in leather, textiles, and plastic material. This is a revolving punch pliers designed for punching repeatable holes in flexible sheet materials. Model Number: 90 70 220. If you need one tool that can handle belt work, strap work, soft plastic, and similar shop tasks without changing over to separate punches, this is the setup.
The big selling point here is simple: you get six interchangeable punch sizes on the rotating head, including 5/64 in., 3/32 in., 1/8 in., 9/64 in., 5/32 in., and 13/64 in. That makes the tool useful for everything from adding a new hole to a leather belt to punching clean openings in fabric-backed material or thin plastic. Instead of stopping to swap loose parts, you rotate to the size you need and keep moving.
Knipex builds the pliers body and punches from special tool steel, oil-hardened. That matters because a revolving punch pliers tool takes repeated point loading right at the punch and anvil. Better steel helps the punch sizes hold up longer and keeps the tool feeling solid instead of getting sloppy after regular use. The body is also red powder-coated, which adds rust protection for shop, truck, or garage storage.
On the handling side, the tool includes an opening spring and a locking lever. In real use, that means less fiddling between punches and less annoyance when you’re making multiple holes in a row. The spring helps the tool reopen after each squeeze, and the lock keeps it compact when it goes back in a drawer, pouch, or toolbox.
At roughly 8 3/4 in. long and about 0.58 lb, this hand punch gives you enough leverage for controlled punching without becoming awkward on the bench. It is a straightforward manual shop tool, not a specialty machine, and that is exactly the point. You can bring it to the workpiece, line up the hole, and punch where you need it without setting up a press.
This Knipex punch pliers model is best suited for leatherworkers, upholstery work, general repair, hobby and craft work, shop maintenance, and serious DIY users who want cleaner results than a cheap punch plier usually delivers. If you work mainly with leather, textiles, or plastic sheet and want multiple punch sizes in one durable tool, this is the kind of hand tool that earns its drawer space.
Make Clean Holes Without Swapping Tools
For belt work, straps, and other flexible materials, speed matters almost as much as accuracy. The rotating head keeps six punch sizes ready at the tool, so you can match the hole to the job and keep working.
- Designed for leather, textiles, and plastic material
