What Makes It Great: If you want your glue-ups to actually hold, surface prep matters. This roughing tool is made to scuff up your leather just right before you apply contact cement. It cuts through slick surfaces, clears away finish, and gives your glue something to grip. It's small, sharp, and makes a big difference in bond strength. Best For: Prepping leather for cement or adhesive Removing finish or slick grain before glue-up Giving your glue-ups a stronger hold without extra mess More About This Product: I’ve tried roughing with sandpaper, blades, you name it, but this tool just works better. The stainless steel head has a checkered texture that bites into the surface without tearing it up. It’s got a comfortable handle and enough weight to keep you in control. Whether you’re building wallets, belts, or patching up something mid-project, this little tool helps your pieces stay stuck for good.
