2pcs Leather Piercing Tools Punching Hole Sewing Awl with Wood Handle

Product Information

Many tools can make a hole in a leather piece. Though, there are a few tools designed specifically for leather hole punching. A general name for all leather-punching tools is “an awl”. Though, most manufacturers use the term “leather punch”. Make sure you can punch a reasonably shaped hole with the tool you get, which is typically one that is around 2mm in diameter or less. Cutting mat as the name suggest is used for cutting leather. It protects your knife and work desk. Self-healing mats have a flat and smooth surface which are perfect for leathercraft and will last for a long time. When cutting leather, it allows the blade to slightly “cut” into the board to protect the knife and to provide a clean straight cut. Usually, there are measurement lines printed on the board which is can be used as a reference for cutting leather pieces. Another option is a poly board which is like your kitchen cutting board. It is harder than poundo boards but soft enough to protect your tools during cutting and punching.

Swivel knife is a tool that is used for carving patterns on leather. You place your index finger the curved area at the top for dexterity when carving intricate designs. Personally, I don’t see this as a beginner tool unless you are into carving patterns. When I first started leather work, the noise was a big issue. I looked for many solutions before discovering punching pliers. These are diamond-shaped teeth with a rubber pad that you simply squeeze onto the leather.When you need a tool for DIY, household use, just to make some additional piercings in a belt, strap, watchband or dig collar, a revolving tool with 6 round punches is commonly suitable. Leather stitching machines at a high level have a sewing surface, spools of thread, a power source, a needle, and a control pedal. The fabric to be stitched is guided under the needle, and when the control pedal is pressed, the needle moves up and down, putting stitches into the fabric. The fabric is moved through the machine, which stitches constantly in a linear fashion. The stitching of the machine is consistent, clean, and strong. For a consistent finish on the leather, these machines are great. Factor to consider Hammers are similar to the hammers you use for hitting nails. Since it has a metal surface, metal hammers are not suitable for striking punch tools or other metal tools. You may potentially damage the tools when striking metal with metal. I typically use these to hammer down my stitchings, works great to tap down seams. I use a maul for other striking tasks. You would need waxed threads as it will be easier to handle (prevents tangling) and works well with leather. Threads are available in many different materials, colours and sizes. Choosing the type of thread material or size is based on personal preference. Common materials are nylon, linen and polyester. Thread sizes are typically available in 0.6mm, 0.8mm, 1.0mm and 1.2mm etc. Different brands have different sizing model. Which thread size to choose depends on what looks good to you and also the size of the product. I personally prefer 0.8mm as it looks good on all projects. Awls will be broken down by blade shapes, such as flat, diamond, or oval, while also changing blade width. Standard sizes for awl blade width are 2mm–4mm. Stitching chisels do not vary as much in their blade size but rather in their spacing. The larger the spacing, the more distance between each stitch. Common sizes for stitching chisel spacing are 2mm–5mm. Variations

Steels with less carbon or no carbon are much harder to sharpen but will keep their sharpened edge much longer. The most expensive piercing tools will strive for balance by using higher-grade steel. Regardless of the type of steel used, the item needs to be sharpened and polished. Edge guide or stitch groover is a tool use to create markings or groove for stitching. It is used to create stitch lines near the edge of the leather. Stitch groover cuts out the leather to create a groove, this allows the stitching to sit in the groove. By applying lesser pressure, you can achieve similar markings as done by a wing divider. (without groove) (RoscoeLeather.com) A leather sewing machine is a powered piece of mechanical equipment that joins materials together. Stitches are connections formed between materials by threads. Unlike hand sewing, which requires each stitch to be made one at a time, machine sewing allows for faster, automated stitching. The rotary cutter have circular blades that will spin along when you push/pull to cut leather. Suitable for thin leather and long straight cuts. I use this a lot. Items and tools that are long-lasting are better to choose than weak tools. So before choosing your leather tools, ensure their durability. Easy to use.The price of a thing should be reasonable; it should not be much higher than your budget, not too little that has low-quality items, so you should search the prices of your required items before buying them.
