Japanese Book Drill / Screw Hole Punch with 5 Bits Review

Japanese Book Drill / Screw Hole Punch with 5 Bits
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I could never quite get this tool to work as described. Light downward pressure didn't allow for the bits to spin properly 50% of the time. The bits would often stay in place while the tool turned. Meanwhile the cap/tightener would slowly un-thread itself until the bit come loose. After punching about four holes (the last one with a bit of a hard tap), the head permanently retracted into the handle and this lovely Japanese Book Drill was rendered useless.
Additionally, the largest of the bits didn't even fit all the way through the cap/tightener and couldn't be used.
Maybe I was using it wrong, but this was a waste of money for me.

This handy drill makes book-binding a breeze! With just light downward pressure, the shaft spins thedrill bit, making beautifully smooth holes in: * paper and card stock * leather * mat board * illustration boar * book boards and More...Because you only need one hand to use this drill, the other hand is free to hold the paper firm. You can easily drill a small stack of paper or card stock at once .The Book Drill with 5 point bits -- in sizes 2mm, 2.5mm, 3mm, 4mm, 5mm will give you an incredible array of choices for book binding. The smaller bits are great for waxed threads like those used in Japanese stab binding, and the larger bits will allow the use of book posts, leather cord, and other thick binding media.Bits are separate and easily interchangeable. And unlike drill presses, this will drill holes anywhere on a page, not just at the edge of the paper.

Dritz(R) Twin Fit Dressform- Full Figure Review

Dritz(R) Twin Fit Dressform- Full Figure
Average Reviews:

Of course everyone's body's a little different, but the wide range of changeable settings on the dressform made it so it's the closest thing I am sure I will ever have to a twin. The base seems like it might be a little unstable if you were to be making something that requires very heavy material, but it works fine for the everyday creations and alterations. Overall great product.

I've had a lot of success using this to machine quilt using my household sewing machine (not a long-arm quilting machine). I use it in the top thread and cotton thread in the bobbin. It was a joy to work with.

These are a staple in most sewing stores. They are nice looking and durable. Holes have been punched to make the application process easy with a consistently spaced stitch. You would apply these to the elbows of a mens sport coat or lambswool sweater. They add a casual sportiness without looking like a repair.

Singer Metal Class 15 Bobbins-4/Pkg Review

Singer Metal Class 15 Bobbins-4/Pkg
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I've been using this as part of the upkeep for my electric razor for almost eight months now and it's doing great so far. The nozzle flips down into a protective indent built into the cap so it doesn't leak, which is nice, but it could be a little easier to retrieve from its stored position. I'm not going to detract any stars or anything because of that, but it'd be nice if the gap near the head of the nozzle were thicker so you could easily pick it out with a finger.
The oil doesn't attract dust or anything so the tip doesn't look nasty like a lot of other several-month-old products get gunked up (I'm mostly thinking of how lip balm tends to attract grime around the cap). If it ever runs out I'll probably buy another. The bottle is easy enough to squeeze that the amount of oil that cames out is easily regulated so if I only use a few drops every week or so it may never go dry.

Use this machine oil to make sure all the mechanics of your machine are working smooth and properly. Squeeze bottle holds 4 ounces of oil.
