4mm 2+4+6 punch set. Seems to be well made and round punches well. Addendum @ bottom.
I actually bought 4mm 2+4+6 punch set and purchased multiple of this item. It is a pain to change the punches each time so better to have it in full sets.This item comes with full set of pointy prickers + 3 extras and also it comes with 20 round hole punches to change it out. Extra 3 screws and a L wrench so I think it is a nicely packaged set.I had no problem using the round hole punch and goes through two flat layers of 6 oz leather stacked. I am using a raw hide mallet and a Low Density mat mounted to opposite side of my riveting block. I mainly bought these to make a cover for my handles very similar to a baseball sewing. Other prickers make much larger holes when the seams are pulled together.Happy with the buy.8-25-22 AddendumPointy prickers do punch well without touch up. I have a microscope at work so I am always in the habit of looking under it. Ends of the prickers are as machined and also studying the pricked holes, it is round but there is a light tear on the hair side, light and nothing to be concerned. I have a cloth lapping wheel with white compound and a quick couple of second (in handle), turn over seems to make the ends smoother and does seems to go in easier remove. Holes are bit cleaner. This is too much and normal person does not have this setup.Still happy and have two sets and tempted to buy more since these are on big sale now but not giving into the temptation.Addendum: 8-27-22Last night was first time I used this for a holster type where I had to get the hole very close the the edge of the folds. Couple of issues with this type:- Careful which side the set screws are facing since these tear/seriously mark the leather when punching.- The end corners will make a gouge on leather if the holes are made in an inside corner.- The punches are mounted in about 1/4 in of metal so there is a big step that also will scratch theleather sides. It is just the design and construction of these type since there has to be some metal forthese to sit in.- I will take these to work and grind the ends to an angle and round/polish so these issues areminimize.* For normal sheets, this works fine and still happy for these type of work.

Inexpensive for their value
As has been my experience with WUTA tools, these are precision machined and of excellent quality. They are not exactly cheap, but I think they are well worth their price. Additionally, they are unique in my experience with their changeable diameter punches. I have several other of their products and am gradually collecting a full set of leather working WUTA tools

Good for the Price
I am an intermediate leather worker and I find Wuta to be a solid brand in that category. I own every type of punch and pricking iron. If you are wondering about the difference, slanted blade pricking irons cut the leather leaving an angled cut allowing for a more zig-zag looking stitch which is often found on very fine work.This tool makes holes in a straight line producing a straight stitch. Most find this easier to use, especially for larger thread. I bought the #4 and it comes with two sets of replaceable points and a couple of extras. One has no hole and makes a very small hole. The second works like a punch and makes a larger hole that you could probably pass two standard needles through side by side. I'm pleased with them so far.

Buy these!
I was very surprised to see the number of reviews putting these down.The people making those seem to be amateurs. Many claiming they don’t line up with some Etsy pattern they have. These are awesome. Full disclosure, I haven’t logged a ton of time with these, I’ll update the review if anything changes, as of now though they are great.I, like many, started off with a cheap set. I bought a very very expensive set and wasn’t happy because holes still needed to be framed out most of the time with a awl. The selling point for me was the two different prick styles. The holes are clean and true on both sides.For the $ you can’t beat these. The fact you can buy replacement pricks too is awesome. I didn’t use a caliper to measure the width, the holes are true, clean and evenly spaced. These are made well, but are prices well below their quality level IMO. My expensive ones I guard like you wouldn’t believe because of what I paid so I don’t wanna lose them. These will be getting the vast majority of the work it appears now.I have wanted to take smaller projects with me on camping trips and other outings l but didn’t for fear of losing the other ones. These are quality and if I broke or lost one of em to replace it isn’t expensive.

So far so good
I have only tested them briefly, but they seem to be sharp enough and changing the tines is easy. Seems like a quality product.

Versatile, very useful, and super inexpensive
Even though I've upgraded many many times since I started leathercrafting (this was my first set of irons), I still use these all the time. As far as irons go, these are least expensive ones available that are actually usable. I typically use French styled irons, but these are still useful for opening up holes, accurate stitch-marking, and for turned edges. Also, any time I do a turned bag (when you flip it inside out after stitching) it doesn't make sense to use a French iron. So yeah, every leather worker should definitely have some of these.

The small one broke.
These are so high class to me, lol! Worth the price. Removable pieces to make it exactly how you want to stitch. Comes with pricking and punching metal things. The punch is small tho, but it's the size I wanted. Nice weight, sturdy. Makes leather punching a breeze.Update: I hadn't used this much until recently. I think mine was returned and resold as new. The smaller one, with the 2 forks, broke. I didn't realize that the 'forks' were already bent. The tool was also bent and one of the screw nob things is stripped. The poky forks dont seem to be made of steel, I think they are an alloy of some sort. It snapped clean right at the joint. The hole punches seem like those are steel. I gave it 3 stars instead of my initial 5, 1. it broke, 2. the tool was already bent, and 3. One of the screw nob things is stripped, making me think this was a returned item.
