DV8DUG Report post Posted February 23, 2018 Does anybody happen to know the mm equivalent of Craftools Sizes? The only info I can find is "The larger the number, the wider the bevel." LOL I have a size #2 and a size #3 but the #2 is still a bit large for 3/4 oz. leather. Any help? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bikermutt07 Report post Posted February 23, 2018 (edited) It is like that with all of their stuff. I think it's designed to keep people in the dark. That way they spend more money trying to put it all together. I have the 0 and the 00. The 00 is great for small stuff. As far as what it compares to? I just don't know. I use the 00 on wallets and the 0 on belts and straps. But, I will say this, that handle is fabulous in the hand.

I did find a conversion table from the number to mm online, possibly on a sellers website, so the info is out there ....... somewhere. If i can find it tonight i'll post it.

Sheilajeanne Report post Posted February 23, 2018 I just purchased a Craftool Pro stitching chisel because they are on sale right now if you're an elite member. It's a 3 mm, and measuring the prongs with a ruler confirms that. I compared it with the regular chisel I already have which is supposed to be a 2 mm - says so right on the handle! Nope, its prongs are actually 4 mm apart! Crazy, really... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mattsbagger Report post Posted March 3, 2018 There is no standardization of measurement between companies. Even Craftool and Craftool Pro. Some measure at the point of the tines. Some the space between the tines. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
