Product Information

Comfortable handles, durable, powder coated body is desirable for everyday, professional or outdoor use, and the items, covered by a long-time warranty are preferable. There are numerous machine options to choose from. Important factors to consider when selecting your machine are how heavy the fabric that will be sewn is and how robust the machine is. A robust and well-maintained machine can last for a very long time.

X-Acto / Xacto / Precision Knife is a great all-rounder knife. The metal blades are sharp and replaceable. Personally, I use this for cutting finer detail. Mallet is another striking tool that is widely used in leathercraft. It basically has a hammer style shape. Materials used are wood, rawhide, plastic and rubber. I personally dont recommend using the wooden mallet, unless you have limited budget. Rawhide or plastic is durable and will work great. Perfect to strike your punch and stamp tools. If you are a novice leather crafter, consider investing in punch and chisels sets. They are more expensive but, in the long run, you will save money because separate tools cost more than the ones in the sets, even if they have the same brand label. What are punches made of? 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. Based on their internal structure, punch tools are sometimes categorized as hollow or solid punches. For instance, hollow punch instruments have a hollow structure, while solid punch instruments have a solid interior. Hollow punch devices puncture the surface to produce holes in leather pieces. On the other side, solid punch devices extract material from leather pieces or push components into pins, rivets, etc.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. Corner punches are metal tools with sharp, rounded edges used to cut through leather. The same round corners can be achieved with a knife. I used to cut round corners with a skiving knife. With some extra budget, this tool saves a lot of time. You get standardized corner cuts from this. Place it on the edge, and hit it with your mallet. Voila! Patricia W. Freeman, and Cliff A. Lemen, from the University of Nebraska in Lincoln, Nebraska, tested puncture resistance of different types of leather used with gloves. They found that even the slightest change in bluntness can cause the force required to pierce the leather to double, if not quadruple, depending on the type of leather. Sizes Drive punch is a one piece tool which automatically clean punched leather out the side of the barrel so there’s never any clogging. IMHO this is a gem compared to rotary punches which always leaves some kind of leather clogging (probably due to the quality of the rotary punch or my skill). Available in different sizes.

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 Maul is a striking tool with a round / cylinder shape wrapped with poly around the head. Comes in various sizes and weight. You can grip the maul differently depending on the task. Gripping part of the head may offer some extra dexterity for more precision strikes. The arm / hand movement from using the maul differs from a mallet / hammer, you tend to use more wrist movements as opposed to arm swinging movements. The smaller impact surface ensures a better strike compared to mallets. (RoscoeLeather.com)Pattern and Letter stamps are metals tools used to imprint patterns or letters into leather. You place the end with the pattern on the leather surface, use a mallet or maul to strike the stamp to imprint the pattern onto the leather. (RoscoeLeather.com) Quality tools improve each task by easily going through leather without tearing or deforming it. With specialized leather piercing tools, each hole created will be consistent, improving the final look of a product.

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. Brand.A leather punch specifically for creating gaps in leather is a hole punch. A hollow steel tube with a sharp circular knife-like edge is the functioning tip of the punch. Against a hard floor, which may be part of the tool kit, the leather piece is put and the punch is pushed into it, carving out a tiny oval piece that is discarded. Perfect for belts, bags, watch bands, pet collars, store cards, etc. Also great for long, repetitive tasks without injuring hands because the handles are cushioned, ergonomic, and non-slip. Before selecting a tool, make sure what sort of tool is suitable for your project and select it. Leather sewing tools
