Hairic,
You might give Traditions Leathercraft in Oklahoma City call. He can ship or you can run down and check out his 8000 sq foot warehouse.

My wife uses that Amazon press to punch all of her holes. She mainly makes items from Dieselpunk.ro and those patterns have a lot of stitching holes.
It seems to be fairly robust, but she mainly uses leather less than 6 oz. Not sure how well it would work on heavier leather.
If you have any specific questions give her an email at Dee@1019leather.com
Hope this helps.

This is not in Houston, but not too far away either. Watch for next year's details.

47 minutes ago, ThatTallChick said:The pricking irons are getting a little rough already though (the pricks are actually bending... Which is weird because I use a self healing mat when I use them) so it looks like I'm in the market for some new ones soon anyway. I'll have to look into more of these measurements- is the 0.45 mm the size of the prick, and the 3.38mm is the size of the space between each prick?
A lot of folks will use the term pricking iron for both pricking irons and stitching chisels. There are different. The pricking irons are intended to just put a mark on the leather that you then make the hole with a stitching awl. Stitching chisels are heavier and are used to actually make the holes. So that could be why the tines our your pricking iron are looking worse for wear.
Take a look here for more information: https://www.goldbarkleather.com/sourceblog/chisel-vs-pricking-iron
You are off to a good start, keep at it!

Quilters rulers. https://www.omnigrid.com/quilting-sewing-supplies/rulers/omnigrid-standard-rulers/
They have many sizes, are clear so you can see what you are measuring.
I use them anytime I need to make 90 degree cuts.
