Excellent presentation. The narrator has a very calm, soothing voice. I wish he had more instructional videos. I'd watch them all. Great product. I just ordered mine.

Wow...I’m just amazed at how ingenious and easy to use this tool is!!
I just found an Awl in my late father’s toolbox, and wanted to know what it did and how to use it...having never used one myself.
After seeing this video, I remember Dad repairing sails with it on our sailboat.
Thanks for the great tutorial...and the nice memories!

I bought one of these for my hammock camping stuff but wasn't sure how to use it and thanks to a few of these videos I know more or less what to use it for and even a few other things. Thanks guys.

My dad used his for many projects. I have it, and forgot how to use it, and this video is so good, teaches well

This video allowed me to successfully repair a panier strap. Thank you 🙏

Super demo with the best way to end the stitches.

Good video. I got this stitching awl with the kit I bought but I had no idea what it was nor how to use it. So I looked on You Tube and sure enough, Tandy had a video showing just what I needed. Thank you. Best regards, Richard…

Thanks, just bought one but wasn't sure how to use it. 👍

THANK YOU! Bought this last year, never got down to getting the patches onto my leather jacket. Going to do it now!

[nickyyoung]

I do have to say thank you for showing how to end the stich because so many videos do not show it. I'm trying to fix my horse pad that is falling apart and I was worried that I was going to mess up on how to end the stich

[mobileandhostile]

⭐️ very clear and concise - the best demo and explanation I have come across ⭐️ thankyou 👍

[oxmanagain]

My wife and I married in 1981, we have that same design on our wedding bands as you have on your finger!

If after you pull out the amount of thread you need, thread a regular sewing large eyed needle to the loose end it will make it easier to pass the end through the loop formed by the awl.

I have a Speedy-Stitcher, as well as the Tandy Stitching Awl. I prefer the Tandy because it is more instinctive to use. The exposed bobbin lets the user brake the tension with the index finger, rather than rely on a twist around the pin on the Speedy-Stitcher version. I've found that, with certain weights of thread, the pin "jams" the thread and I need to manually pull out the thread I need I order to keep going. The Tandy awl has a free flowing bobbin and can be reeled back if the tension gets a bit loose and you end up with too much thread between the tip and your work. Just a better design. I do a lot of sail mending, holster and sheath making, so I need continuity with no problems. Never had one with the Tandy.

Thank you sir🤓 was looking for this, got the....thing, but no name on it🕵️ so now i can repair whats needed to🥳

[MsRotorwings]

Thanks for the demo, was wondering how an awl worked.

[kingery]

Good video. Just a note if you put a needle onto the tag end it is easier to get the thread into the loop easier.

[ernies]

Well done, Thanks. It had been a long time since I used it and this refreshed my memory.

[joescheller]
