🔨 Tandy Leather 3009 00 Diamond Chisel Review

All parts are well made and sharp and do exactly what is needed. The tip bit could be a bit stronger as it will bend if you're not careful.

I like that I can make several well-formed holes at the same time and at a distance. With the exception of changing the time for the head, this speeds up the process and gives consistency to my work.

So the tool came and it seems to be what I want. But the bag it came in also had a lot of oil in it. My hand was covered with oil. I'm pretty sure this is Revain's problem, not the product's. The product should still work. But depending on the oil, this can affect the life of the product.

I've been working with chisels for some time. They do the trick and create a nice slant to the stitch as long as you rotate the loop during the saddle stitch. Without a buttonhole, the stitch looks straight. If you want an English (oblique) stitch look, I find that adding a loop or two works best.
