I don't have a problem with people making money, good for them.  There's obviously a broader discussion here about environment concerns and working relations etc, but when your other option is to pay $5k in European tools (just because they are European) so you can make a $50 wallet then this is not really a viable option either.  I find there is a gap in the leather tool market for mid-range, middle-priced tools, and whenever there is a gap someone will eventually fill it.

Thanks for the clarification, creasing iron it is!

Of course the labor cost is somewhat higher here in Europe where child labor is not legal

It's not only labor cost, it's the components they use in them.

The secret to this tool is how accurate it keeps the temperature. How fast it's heating, there shouldn't be any down time before it's hot enough.  A thermostat would not work, a accurate PID controller is needed. Even professional class soldering stations cost money because of the components it's in them. Perhaps a cheap Chinese PID control will do the same job as a expensive one. Only way to see that is to compare them doing a test job.  I've just bought such cheap Chinese PID controller for upgrading an old hot foil machine. I hope it will do the job.
