Old Coach Saddlery Report post Posted March 28 I am contemplating purchasing an EZ edger from Weaver. Anyone have any experience with one. Any good. Having some issues with my elbow and hoping this will take some of the wear and tear off. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bruce johnson Report post Posted March 28 All good experience. I have sold several used ones through here. One that stands out was an Amish maker who looked at one I had in Sheridan. He was “thinking about it”. He came back about 2 minutes later and said his wife told him he must buy it. She was the rein and strap edger of the shop.

DieselTech Report post Posted March 28 Is the EZ edger the tool that bevels all 4 corners of a strap or belt at once? If so, I would like to have 1, but the price always scares me away. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Four edge is a single pass Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Four edge is a single pass Thanks. Yes them are nice tools. I think if the cutters could be adjusted for leather thickness it would be a better tool. I hate you got to buy different cutters for the leather thickness you are working with. Thanks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I hate you got to buy different cutters for the leather thickness you are working with. Thanks. But then again with hand edgers, you need to buy different sizes for different thickness too. Some people can slight rotate the cutters on the EZ edger to not catch the full blade. It sort of works but not ideal or as consistent as the sized edgers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Old Coach Saddlery Report post Posted March 28 I prefer to hand edge. I fear getting older maybe causing some issue. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TomG Report post Posted March 28 I've had one for years and love it. I do a lot of straps and 2 quick pulls does the job. The 4-cutter version is much more expensive and for my need was not worth the extra money. I've also read that the 4-cutter version can be tricky to adjust for even cuts, but don't have hands-on to confirm. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
