CFM chuck123wapati Posted August 25, 2022 CFM Report Posted August 25, 2022 Just now, Doc Reaper said: Lately Tandy has put warnings with their chisels that they are not for punching holes, I believe that you can read it on their web pages Interesting i haven't noticed that but maybe they are trying to explain that they are not hole punches, chisels aren't for punching holes they are for cutting slots. hole punches are round and for punching holes. lol Most of what we do on the forum is answer questions about tools that the tool companies don't . in our high tech world there has been a real disconnect with modern man and his understanding of hand tools.

Members ScottEnglish Posted August 29, 2022 Author Members Report Posted August 29, 2022 From what I learned in this topic I decided to buy two Japanese stitching awls by Kyoshin Elle. Thanks to everyone for your contributions. Scott Quote
Members Tugadude Posted August 29, 2022 Members Report Posted August 29, 2022 Tandy’s website does not say anything about not using their stitching chisels to punch through leather, not that I could find. In fact, just the opposite. I have two sets of their Craftool Pro Diamond chisels and use them regularly. They look brand new. The black ones they sell will bend if you abuse them, striking them off-center for example. Even still, they last for years. Quote
