A Speedy Stitcher Sewing Awl!

Works really good to repair aging soft tops, tents, your britches (if your in a bind) among other things.

Mines earned its weight in gold over the years.

Can someone who doesn't know a thing about sewing use it? Where would you get it?

I can't sew a lick, so yes! Very heavy needle, works canvas, leather, etc. �Its very simple to use, look on YouTube, there's instructional videos posted. If I can recall, I believe I bought it from the cabels catalog or bass pro, its been a few years.

Oh, I forgot, if you do have to use it to repair your britches, its not fitting for when you have company or your Sunday go to meeting clothes  ;D ;D ;D

Man, I've made a lot of knife sheaths and leather repairs with one of those!  It's a must have.
