Mandala Crafts Handheld Leather Working Stitching Pony Sewing Horse Clamp

Mandala Crafts' beech wood stitching pony stands 14 inches tall with a 360-degree rotating vise and a 3 inch maximum jaw opening, a compact clamp for wallets, belts and knife sheaths.

Price range: See on Amazon

What we liked

  • + Sanded beech wood frame with a 360-degree rotating vise, set up for right-handed or left-handed stitching
  • + Jaw opens up to 3 inches, so it holds a single layer or several stacked pieces while both hands sew
  • + Listing gives clear dimensions, 14 x 3 x 2 inches, and says it works on a table, at a desk or seated

Trade-offs

  • - Needs assembly out of the box, and the listing suggests covering the jaw with leather yourself to prevent marring
  • - At 3 inches wide the clamp grips a short section at a time, so long belts need frequent repositioning

Prices change often, so check the current price and availability on Amazon.
