Tandy Leather 01234

I wish I bought this tool sooner. It works very well and it's so much faster than cutting with a scalpel!

Just received this tool and within five minutes I have cut six straps of various widths and lengths, five of which are over two feet. I found this tool easy to use and, checking the pieces against my straight edge, the results are flawless. I am using 8oz vegetable tan leather, a little on the stiff side, and this tool just eats it up. I was surprised how easily it pulled through, I was expecting more resistance. With thinner leathers or suede you will likely have some trouble, but for my purposes this tool is perfect and will save a great deal of time in my work over the way I had previously been cutting straps. Set up is a bit fiddly (especially if you will be changing the thickness of the leather you are using very often during a project) but manageable. The product features a large, sturdy-feeling handle. The hardware seems somewhat cheap/flimsy, but I don't expect those parts to get much wear-and-tear during standard use. If you haven't used a strap cutter before and you find yourself wasting a lot of time wrestling with your straight-edge, give this one a shot.

Its a strap cutter, the blade came with it was sharp, I cut through some 8oz leather that I glue together no problem at all, takes a little bit time to learn how to use it and cut a straight line, but work as described its a strap cutter.

Funktioniert wie beschrieben. Solide verarbeitet, keine ungefasten Kanten, keine ungehobelte Flächen. Die Klinge ist sicher installiert, so dass man nicht die eigenen Finger riskiert. All das fand ich nicht beim Nachbau aus Fernost. Kann ich nur weiterempfehlen. Das verwendete Leder sollte eine gewisse Festigkeit haben. Mit sehr weichem, "wabbeligen" Leder wird das Entlangführen an der Kante schwierig.

Good way to see how the principle works. Don’t expect longevity it is a budget tool and will not last for repeated use
