heated creaser

[china]

Hi,

been a long time since I was here last for various reasons, however getting back into leather work, asking if any one has used one of these

I crease a lot of 6-13 oz straps for tack using plain creasers that I heat with an alcohol lamp.  Works well once you learn how much to heat the tool, and they fit well in the palm of my hand.  The inexpensive WUTA creases are a favorite for 5/6 oz loop stock for making keepers/loops.  For heavier leather, I like vintage creases that have a broader/more rounded profile.  The electric creaser looks to me like a lot of tool to hold steady.

Thanks tom, I know about heating creasers with a flame etc, I used to have cheap adjustable Tandy example the heat just destroyed it, so thought this may suffice, the price seems too good to be true, in saying that It is not a big loss if it turns out to be rubbish

Sounds like a good experiment.  Let us know how it turns out.  The electric creases seem to be popular for fine leatherwork.

The machine is more expensive. The $11 is for only one creaser tip.
