Why a kit instead of loose tools
When you're starting out, the hardest part is knowing what you actually need. Long tool lists are confusing, and cheap tools can make a first project frustrating. This kit is a curated set of the essentials to cut, mark, punch, stitch and finish a small piece — with our punch and a guide that shows you how to use them, in order.
What's in the case
- Nexloa 6-size automatic hole punch (black & gold) — the core tool, tips approx. 1.5 to 4 mm
- Adjustable groover — for a clean stitch line
- Prong punches (1/2/4/6) — to mark even stitch holes
- Swivel knife & scissors — for cutting
- Scribing wheel & awl — for marking and aligning
- Wooden burnishers & edge slicker — to finish the edges
- Waxed thread (×3) & stitching needles (×7)
- Tape measure & finger cot
- Stamping tool set — to personalise pieces once you're comfortable
- Carry case to keep it all organised
- Free digital “Getting Started” guide — sent to your email after purchase
The exact tool count may vary slightly, and punch tip sizes are approximate (a hand tool can vary by a few tenths of a millimetre). Leather isn't included — you can start with any small piece of veg-tan leather. Our product photos are styled presentations — the tools you receive are the same, but the setting and arrangement shown are for presentation only.
How you'll use it
- Open the guide — it starts from step one.
- Follow along on your first project: cut, groove, punch, stitch, finish.
- Keep the tools in the case and move on to your next piece.
Who it's for
Anyone who wants to try leatherwork without piecing together a tool list — and anyone looking for a thoughtful gift for someone who likes making things by hand.

FAQ
I've never worked with leather. Is this too advanced?
No. It's built for first-timers, and the guide walks you through a complete beginner project from the start.
What can I make with it?
Start with a card holder (covered in the guide), then move on to key fobs, coasters, pouches and simple wallets — same tools, bigger patterns.
Is leather included?
No — the kit is the tools and the guide. You can start with any small piece of vegetable-tanned leather, around 1–4 mm thick.
Just want the punch?
You can buy the 6-size hole punch on its own — check our hole punch listing.
How long does shipping take?
About 7–20 days with tracking, depending on your location. The guide arrives by email right away.
From flat leather to finished piece
Mark & punch
Pick a size, mark your line, and press straight down for clean, even holes.
Saddle stitch
Sew with two needles through each hole — the strong, classic leather stitch.
Finish the edges
Bevel and burnish for a smooth, tidy edge. Your piece is done.
