 These punches, made of hardened steel and refined brass, are suitable for inserting elastic bands and cords through a waistband, channeling hoods, etc. The brass version is a needle that is split at the handle and open towards the eye, giving the point of the needle a spherical shape. If a ribbon is passed through this eye and then inserted through the needle shaft halves, it is caught and can then be pulled through the tunnel while firmly anchored. The other punch, made of stainless steel, is also a blunt needle. However, it has a wide, flattened, and therefore thinner needle shaft with a long, round eye. The long eye is designed to pick up thick ribbons and threads, the round one is suitable for finer threads and O-rings. The rounded, burr-free tips of the needles cannot pierce the material and therefore slide easily through any loops or tubes of fabric. Balanced spring stiffness and smooth surface make these needles professional tools.
