Designed for professional craftsmen, serious DIY enthusiasts and specialist users, Maun Industries’ Wad Punch Sets provide a versatile and dependable solution for creating clean, accurately positioned holes in a wide range of soft materials.
Ideal for specialist leatherwork, the kit can also be used for a host of other applications. From creating replacement gaskets or sealing washers for a kit or classic car, making rubber components and conduit/electrical work to model making, floor repair jobs and working with plastic sheet, having the right punch can make all the difference.
Manufactured in England, Maun’s Wad Punch Sets combine nine precision-made interchangeable punches with a spring-loaded centre punch and handle. Available in both metric and Imperial sizes, the kits provide everything needed to produce accurately shaped holes and washers in a single, compact set.
One handle, nine sizes
At the heart of each kit is a 150 mm centre punch and handle, onto which the interchangeable punches can be quickly screwed. The metric set includes nine punch sizes from 5 mm to 32 mm, while the Imperial version covers sizes from ¼in to 1in.
The spring-loaded centre plunger makes accurate positioning straightforward, helping users centre the hole before striking the handle with a hammer or mallet. It also ejects the cut-out slug after punching, making the process quicker and more convenient.
The punches are ground to a fine cutting edge for precision before being hardened and tempered to HRC 45 for durability. The centre punch is case hardened to HRC 57, while the robust handle is designed to withstand repeated hammer and mallet blows.
Versatile across a range of applications
Designed for use on soft materials including felt, rubber, leather, plastic and cork, the Wad Punch Sets can be used across a wide variety of professional and specialist applications.
For classic and vintage vehicle enthusiasts, the tools provide a practical way to make replacement washers and water pump gaskets during maintenance and restoration work. The ability to create both inner and outer holes makes the set particularly useful where a precisely shaped gasket or washer is required.
For floor covering technicians, the punches can be used to produce accurate holes when repairing or replacing damaged areas of cork or vinyl flooring, helping to achieve clean and precise results.
Leatherworkers and crafters can also use the punches to create clean, consistent holes in leather and other suitable materials, making the set a useful addition to both professional workshops and home crafting toolkits.
Built for repeated use
Maun has designed the Wad Punch Sets with the same focus on precision, durability and practical performance that runs throughout its specialist tool range. All the steel components are chemically blackened for protection, while the punches’ hardened and tempered construction helps maintain their cutting performance through repeated use.
The modular design also means that individual punches and the centre punch and handle are available separately. If a punch is lost or damaged, users can simply replace the individual component rather than purchasing an entirely new kit.
Timothy Scholes, Managing Director at Maun Industries, said: “Our Wad Punch Sets are a great example of how a relatively simple tool can solve a wide range of practical problems. Whether someone is restoring a classic vehicle, repairing flooring or working with leather, being able to produce a clean, accurately positioned hole can make the job considerably easier.
“By combining nine interchangeable punch sizes with a spring-loaded centre punch and robust handle, we’ve created a versatile set that gives users precision and flexibility without needing a separate handle for every size.
“As with all our tools, the focus is on producing something that performs reliably and is built to last.”
Available in both metric and Imperial configurations, Maun’s Wad Punch Sets offer a dependable solution wherever clean, precise holes are required.
