It punches through virtually every material: paper, leather, faux-leather, acetate, cork sheets, binding cardboard… Place the eyelet on the hole using the correct position (the TOP side must coincide with the upper part of the eyelet, whereas the BASE part must coincide with the inferior part of the eyelet) and press the pincers.
