Bad with a hammer

So I got this and figured you should use a hammer? Well, that's an epic fail in every way. I hooked this up to my pavilion press and it works amazing.

Pros
  • Feels good
Cons
  • Requires a socket

Sets eyelets permanently without wear.

Great tool so I bought another one for my aunt. This particular jig has already set 2000 eyelets with ease and shows very little wear comparable to such an effort. Thank you for making such a solid anvil and setter combo at a reasonable price!

Pros
  • Leatherworking Accessory
Cons
  • High Price

The contoured surfaces of the setter and tiny anvil are poorly finished, leading me to suspect there's more chance of getting caught on the edge of the base when trying to shape it.

Pros
  • Arts, Crafts & Sewing
Cons
  • No Performance

Overpriced Leather Craft

I've bought these types of anvils before when they were still on sale. This product only costs about $3. I've paid $2-$4 for the kits I already have and they are better quality. The outer diameter of the grooved ring on the anvil can be reduced by 0.5mm, which is very important as this allows the tab or sleeve to move and shift slightly and eventually deform or warp in the tissue. I had constant shifting issues which resulted in my hub shaft breaking and blocking part of the hole. I've never…

Pros
  • Craft
Cons
  • Very Expensive
