bikermutt07 Report post Posted April 5, 2019 One of these kits is a really well thought out start. I have ordered lots of times from Wuta. I really like the quality they bring to the table. Shipping from China is slow, but usually free. https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F153433833827 This is kind of an upgrade if your budget permits... https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F153432722499 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tugadude Report post Posted April 5, 2019 I think for entry level they are fine. Certainly won't break the bank. Many of us have paid as much or more than that whole list for one good awl. I'd be interested in feedback on the edgers. If they are sharp and hold an edge, that's a bargain. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Danne Report post Posted April 5, 2019 (edited) I bought the same stitching hole punches and they make small holes and I liked them. I also bought edge bevelers from Kyoshin Elle, which I would recommend you to do, even though they cost a little more. (I still use mine with good results) https://leathercrafttools.com/item?id=3688 Edited April 5, 2019 by Danne Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
