Review on 🧵 Tandy Leather Fine Sewing Awl Needle Size 5 - 1198-05 for Improved SEO by Angela Rodriguez

I bought this needle to use with my standard sewing awl. The first thing you'll notice is that the needle doesn't fit in the awl. I finally managed to assemble it by inserting the needle tip into the Dremmel tool's keyless chuck and grinding down the shank until it fit into the awl's shank hole. Be careful because if the needle comes loose in the chuck you have a very sharp object that could touch someone. It should also be noted that the hole is for the thread and is not designed for use with the large waxed thread that comes with the awl when purchased. The thread should be high tenacity, like canvas thread or other synthetic thread that I use with it with good results. So if you want to complete the task of grinding a rod on a needle, you'll get an easy-to-use needle that will pierce skin with ease, watch your fingers!
