Wiha Professional 28402 Revolver Punch Pliers

The Wiha Professional 28402 Revolver Punch Pliers, also known as the Wiha Revolverlochzange Professional Z 65 0 05 225mm, are precision hand tools engineered for accurate hole punching across a variety of soft and semi-rigid materials. Built for professionals in trade and industry as well as demanding DIY enthusiasts, these punch pliers combine robust materials with an ergonomic design to ensure reliable performance over time. Featuring a built-in locking mechanism and six exchangeable punching tools, the device adapts easily to different sizing requirements while maintaining clean and consistent results.

Advantages

The pliers feature a high-resistance special steel body that provides structural strength and mechanical stability during repetitive tasks. A durable nickel-plated finish protects the metal surface against corrosion, extending the tool lifespan in active workshop environments. The inclusion of six integrated, exchangeable punching tubes ranging from 2.0 to 4.5 mm allows users to switch between hole diameters quickly without needing extra accessories. Furthermore, a convenient viewing window displays the size designation of the active perforating tube, ensuring efficient operation and reducing setup errors.

Suitable for

• Perforating leather goods such as belts, straps, and harnesses
• Punching holes in textiles, canvas, and soft fabrics
• Crafting and leatherworking projects in workshops or studios
• General repair and maintenance tasks requiring adjustable hole sizes

When it may not be suitable

These pliers are not designed for punching hard metals, thick timber, dense plastics, or masonry materials, as attempting to use them on such surfaces can damage the cutting edges. Additionally, tasks requiring hole diameters larger than 4.5 mm or smaller than 2.0 mm fall outside the capability range of this tool.

How to use

To operate the Wiha revolver punch pliers, first release the locking mechanism to free the rotating head. Rotate the drum until the desired punching tube diameter aligns with the striking anvil and locks securely into position. Place the material to be punched flat against the anvil, ensuring proper alignment with the cutting tube. Squeeze the handles firmly together in one fluid motion to create a clean perforation through the material. Engage the locking mechanism again for safe storage when work is complete.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the available hole diameters (2.0 to 4.5 mm) match your specific project requirements
• Confirm that the materials you intend to process are suitable for manual punch pliers, such as leather or textiles
• Assess the physical dimensions and weight of the tool to ensure comfortable handling during extended use

Usage recommendations

Always place a scrap piece of material beneath thin textiles during initial testing to confirm hole quality, keep the punching tubes clean of debris, and store the tool in a dry environment with the locking mechanism engaged.
