Also not that there are different diameters of leather belt AND different size belt pliers. Most issues I have seen folks have is using a large sized pliers and punch on thinner belts. I have a smaller pair of pliers that do a thinner hole, never an issue. These also cut at the same time as punching, unlike the Singer brand that is a two step process.

Is that the one that started this slippery slope? I know I saw another pair that had a flattened side at the end of the handle which you indicated was to assist in removing the staple. Did it come that way or was it altered?
