BGS 565 Hole Punch Set, 3–12 mm, 9 sizes in a plastic cassette
Product description
Nine sizes from 3 mm to 12 mm give the BGS 565 set a useful range for jobs where the required hole size may vary. The punches are made from hardened steel, and the plastic cassette keeps the set together between uses.
The listed sizes are 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11 and 12 mm. There is no 9 mm punch, so check the required diameter before choosing this set.
It is a manual set for cutting holes in leather, fabric and rubber. That makes it relevant for occasional repairs or adjustments, such as adding a hole to a belt or strap, rather than buying one punch for a single size.
Getting the most from it
Choose the punch by matching its listed diameter to the hole you need, the set covers several sizes, but not every millimetre in the 3–12 mm range. For a repair involving a belt, strap or another item made from the stated materials, having the sizes together may be more convenient than keeping separate single-size tools. The sharp edges are intended to make precise cuts, while the manual operation keeps the set straightforward in format.
It’s a good fit if you want a selection of punch sizes for leather, fabric or rubber work. It may not suit you if the job specifically calls for a 9 mm hole, as that size is not included.

What you’ll notice day to day
The practical advantage is having several diameters in one organised case, which can help when different tasks call for different hole sizes. The stated uses include leather, fabric and rubber, so this is more versatile than a punch bought for one material or one diameter, provided your work falls within that range. Its compact cassette measures 20.5L x 14.5W x 4.7H centimetres, with the full set weighing 0.6 Kilograms.
Buyers commonly describe the set as effective and sharp, one reports using it on belts and straps. Some also praise its value, though those impressions are not a substitute for checking that the included sizes match your particular job. For high-volume work or a requirement for a size not listed, a tool selected specifically for that task may be a better match.
What to clarify
Which hole sizes are included? The set contains punches measuring 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11 and 12 mm. It does not include a 9 mm size.
What materials is it described for? The punches are listed for leather, fabric and rubber.
Does it come with storage? Yes. A plastic cassette is included to keep the nine punches together.
Is it worth it?
The BGS 565 is worth considering when you need a manual punch set with several sizes for the stated materials, rather than a single-size tool. Its steel punches, plastic storage cassette and spread of diameters make the contents easy to assess before purchase. The key decision is whether one of the nine sizes suits the work: if you need 9 mm or a diameter outside the set, this particular selection will not cover it.
