Price range: See on Amazon

What we liked

  • + 7 straight and 2 bent needles let you sew flat seams and reach awkward spots on bags, shoes and tents
  • + 7 rolls of waxed thread in 6 colors (black, gray, brown, dark brown, khaki, white) to match most leather
  • + Wood handle stores needles inside the body, with stainless steel tapered needles described as rustproof

Trade-offs

  • - A lock stitch repair awl, not a diamond awl for saddle stitching, so it suits repairs more than fine hand-sewn goods
  • - Thread roll lengths and needle sizes are not given in the listing, and the brand is little known
