Members billybopp Posted August 21, 2014 Members Report Posted August 21, 2014 The Dixon / Blanchard (and others) type pricking irons are designed mostly to mark the location and orientation of the holes for you to open up with an awl, however they can be used to go all the way through. The type shown above are probably more properly known as strap punches, and are designed to put a hole all the way through, however with a lighter tap they can be used just to mark location and orientation for your awl to pierce. Hope that helps more than confuses Bill Quote
