I've had my Sinabroks Stitching Punches for 2 months now. It's about time we give them a proper review! Also, I don't think I mentioned it in my review, but all purchases from Sinabroks com with 2 additional prongs.

You can buy your own Sinabroks Stitching Punch from any of the links below (keep in mind that to order direct from Sinabroks takes about two months so don't order from there if you're in a hurry):
sinabroks.com/product/stitchi...
www.buckleguy.com/sinabroks-s...
www.lonsdaleleather.com/tools...
If the Sinabroks are a bit too pricey for you right now, here are the Kemovancraft stitching punches I was using before my upgrade to Sinabroks:
kemovancraft.com/collections/...
If you do buy the Kemovancraft punches, I'd recommend also getting the sharpener that they sell:
kemovancraft.com/collections/...
And of course you can pick up the classic beginner's diamond chisel set either on it's own here:
amzn.to/3skdbgO
Or as a part of a beginner kit here:

Other tools I used in the video:
Owden Maul 1.2lbs: amzn.to/3uabZ1t
Wing Dividers: amzn.to/3rXYYGg
Punching Mat: amzn.to/2NQ5QGS

Thanks to you I bought a set! Can't wait to receive them. Looks like they will arrive in about 10 days from ordering, my confirmation-tracking said. The seller has gotten very good with delivery.

Great stuff here Tim. Great information here for sure. I was familiar with the brand name and prices of Sinabroks, but had not seen them up close. Nice you shared the specs of the ones you had good luck with, that helps a lot as well. ~ Subbed.

Will the handle fit in a 10mm hole for use with an arbor press? I live in an apartment building. So I can't do any hammering. Just subscribed. Cheers from Montreal.

Hi and thanks for the review. I would like to know whats the best size hole diameter to go with ? I use mostly 1mm and 0.08 thread.

@BlackFlagLeatherGoods 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks for watching! I don't know about the best size. It's pretty subjective. I like a bigger punch and bigger thread so I use a 1.2mm punch and 1mm thread. It kind of gives it more of a rugged look, whereas the slanted irons and thinner thread give it more of a refined feel in my opinion.

@sipapito 11 ай бұрын

Would you stil buy the 8 prong. 1,5 mm? or go with a higher mm hole?

@Ruyagozlemi 3 жыл бұрын

Im really trying to figure out which ones to buy, between sinabrooks and KS. This has really helped though. Been using diamond starter chisels and just tires of fighting to pull it out !!!

@BlackFlagLeatherGoods 3 жыл бұрын

Thank you! I'm glad it helped! I've never used KS before, but I've heard nothing but good things about them. I think you'd be fine either way. I do consider my Sinabroks punches the best investment into my brand that I've made though. Thanks for watching!

I recommend getting the 4z pricking irons. They are cheaper and you can replace the blade yourself. I recently dropped my ks blade punch on the ground and now I have to send it back to South Korea to get repaired. Don’t know how long that will take

Sinabroks is better, they’re made by a former KS employee. He made his own design better from working on the product for KS.

They look awesome, maybe one day I'll pony up the money. I also had those same cheap Amazon Dimond irons and they are a pain to pull outta the leather. I recently got a set of 2/5/10 3.85 owden French style irons and it's night and day. They power through 3 layers of 2/3 oz leather and just slide out. Best part was the price, $70!

European and French style punches are not meant to go completely through the leather. You only go in slightly and then finish it with an awl.

Wait... you're Canadian?. Also. I have been working leather for 8 years. I still haven't justified the expense of these. I have the new Japanese punches Tandy got in late last year. They work great. But they are also way too pricey. Of course it's Tandy. Which means they jack the cost up on everything.

@BlackFlagLeatherGoods 2 жыл бұрын

I am, yep! Near Vancouver. They are stupid expensive but honestly probably still the best shop upgrade I've made. Punching with crappy punches makes every step more frustrating. Oh I think I know the ones you're talking about! They're stainless French style pricking irons?

@b26leather29 2 жыл бұрын

Too expensive, and don't even come in a box, just some cheap packaging. For this price i'd expect a branded box.

@BlackFlagLeatherGoods 2 жыл бұрын

They are supposed to. I've seen the box they normally come in online. I think he was swamped when I ordered mine and he had run out or something. Either way, these are still the best tool I own. Worth every penny.

@jlowrie33 Жыл бұрын

I actually prefer expensive items that don’t come in a fancy box. I feel like I’m paying for fluff and marketing.

@stoneblue1795 Жыл бұрын

@@jlowrie33 Agreed. They could come in some waxed brown paper from a meat counter tied in some thin twine and it would mean more to me that the expenditure was focused on the tool(s) and not monogramed marketing shit.
