“First you must be very careful removing it from the shrinkwrap so you don't damage the case(find the air hole & start from there to peel it away), 2nd, the most important tools aren't smoothed/sharp/polished enough,the stitch tool must be deburred/smoothed at the hook to prevent damaging the leather& cutting the thread when pulling it through the holes,3rd,the piercing awls need to be sharpened to be of any use”
“But for claiming to be heavy duty”
