Category: Jewellery Making Tools

Precision pliers for punching clean 1.5mm buckle pin notches into leather watch straps and bands. This essential tool ensures a neat, professional finish every time.

What it does

These notching pliers employ a robust plier action to create a precise 1.5mm rectangular aperture in a single, controlled squeeze. The hardened steel punch and die mechanism work in perfect alignment, preventing material distortion and ragged edges. Featuring a box-joint construction, the jaws remain stable and parallel throughout the cutting motion, ensuring consistent results for demanding tasks.

How to use it

  • Position leather strap under the punch.
  • Squeeze handles firmly to make the notch.
  • Wipe clean after use for longevity.

Who it's for

Ideal for UK-based watchmakers, silversmiths, and leather craftspeople who frequently adjust or create watch straps. Also a valuable addition for jewellers and hobbyists working with leather bands, replacing tedious manual cutting or filing.

Ellie B. ★★★★★

I've notched about a dozen straps with these now and the PVC handles stay comfortable even after an hour of squeezing. The stainless jaws cut a clean 1.5mm notch without crushing the leather around it, which was my main worry.

John ★★★★★

The 1.5mm notch is dead-on for standard buckle pins, and it cuts through 3mm veg-tan in one clean squeeze. The PVC handles don't dig into my palm even after doing a dozen straps in a row.

Ella ★★★★★

I've been cutting buckle slots with a knife for years, and this thing makes it look like I actually know what I'm doing. The PVC handles don't slip even when my hands are sweaty, and the 1.5mm notch lines up perfectly with standard buckle pins.
