Review on Ultimate 7-in-1 Pro Leathercraft Set: Adjustable Stitching Groover and Creasing Edge Beveler for Seamlessly Sewing & Creasing Leather by Kristen Simpson

Revainrating 2 out of 5

If you don't know how to tune cheap instruments, this probably isn't for you.

I bought this because I needed a beveling tool and a grooving tool but only got one. It's not a 7-in-1 toolbox, it only does 5 jobs unless you want to count chamfering as 3 jobs. Nevertheless, the three so-called bevelers do not make a chamfer with a rounded edge, but pierce a groove in the edge and call it a chamfer. The pictures show a round groove on the back of the edge banders and if it was there it would cut the round edge as intended; but unfortunately this groove is not on the back. It's not possible to sharpen a slotting cutter when it becomes dull, and I cannot find replacement cutters online or in retail stores. I gave it two stars and only kept it because the stitch cutter only needs a little tweaking to make a good groove and the price is less than a third of the retail price.

Pros
  • Kraft
Cons
  • Ugly packaging
