Price range: See on Amazon

What we liked

  • + Works like a hand-held sewing machine, so one tool pierces and stitches for strap and bag repairs without a separate needle and thread.
  • + Ships with one straight needle, one curved needle and one threaded bobbin, so it can start work out of the package.
  • + Made in the USA by the Speedy Stitcher brand, the same maker as the original Dritz-branded kit it replaces.

Trade-offs

  • - A lockstitch awl is aimed at repairs and canvas or gear work, not the fine, even hand saddle stitch used on finished leather goods.
  • - The listing does not state thread weight or needle sizes, so check that they match your project before buying.
