Does anyone use these on cutting leather belts for cuff bracelets for example, not extremely thick?

I haven't tried cutting leather, you don't say how thick it is, but I have cut heavy webbing with ease so I think they should work OK.

I used them to hold a leather flap closed on my hiking boots and to hold my multi-tool case closed. They work great. I do think they come with a warning about credit cards and electronic equipment proximity though. These are definitely not "craft" magnets.

We do cut 4mm mild steel wire with them, but I haven't tried anything bigger. If it was a soft material such as mild steel, it would be possible, but the similar model with the notch at the back of the jaws (71 31 1200) would be better for this as the notch allows for a better grip due to how wide the jaws are open when facing larger diameter tasks.

I have not used the set on leather yet, but I am sure it will work. Use each "hole cutter/punch" by hand or with a hammer to cut or punch holes into leather.

They work well for fruit leather. It totally depends on what you are drying

You could use them on leather; they wouldn't hurt, but the great property of these towels is their absorbancy, which makes them ideal for dish towels as they really get the dishes/glasses dry. I'd be more inclined to use a very soft microfiber cloth to clean leather.

I am far from an expert on this . I use them for jewelry making and cut thru stainless and silver plated silverware with no problem. Sorry I couldn't be more of a help.

Never considered that. All use I know of has been for smooth work leather. Email the vendor or Russell Moccasin for guidance. They are both super folks

Probably not for leather. Leather requires a point of some type to pierce it and you can get a leather puncher much cheaper. This tool is strictly for metal.

yes they will work fine for that. although if i were going with that small of a gauge then i would use micro-sheers, e.g as these - http://www.amazon.com/Xuron-410-Micro-Shear-Flush-Cutter/dp/B000IBOOWQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1407771113&sr=8-1&keywords=micro+shears

I have not used this on leather; however, I think 1/8" thick piece might be at the limits as the edge of the blade as it lies perpendicular is maybe a 32nd over an eighth of an inch. I hope this helps.

Patti... I have never cut steel any thicker than 1/2 inch. Cutting tip works well for this. ~~don ~~

I used them for thin metal already, without any cutting fluid. I am no expert on cutting fluid, but I would think they would work with it. These are awesome bits, makes me wonder how I ever worked without these!

They are quite sharp, so I think they would work for thinner fabrics. I know they could cut through a standard thickness wool felt, but fleece might be too thick. They are definitely not as sharp as sewing scissors.

Yes, That's the way I use mine.. I would not cut anything really hard though.. Copper, Silver and Gold should be OK though

I use the cutter to cut hard packing plastic, folded newspaper leather but have not tried on cotton. I love my cutter.
