💡 Discover the Efficient C.S. Osborne Automatic Awl Haft for Superior Efficiency Review

Great awl for leather, canvas or anything that needs sewing where a sewing machine cannot be used. It is helpful to buy an extra pack of needles in case you put too much force on the needle and one breaks.

Bought to try after the needles broke on my old one. Not a fan of this design. Another design has a large knurled collar to keep the needle taut. A small collar on it makes it difficult to pull out the needle. I constantly have to use pliers to pull the needle out of thick materials when it falls out of the awl.

This is a great tool for leather repair. I got my first one exactly like this about 55 years ago when I was a rodeo cowboy to fix rodeo gear like grips, rigging and saddles. I still have it but this one is for my son to use with holsters, belts and other leather gear. I was happy to see that this tool hasn't changed in the last 55 years.

The instructions were clear and I was able to velcro the already existing velcro strips onto a pair of favorite shoes. It was a lot easier to use than I thought.
