Speedy Stitcher - A survival tool? 

Hi Odd, this is really a clever and useful tool, cool reality demonstration too, all the best, Taro

We used to make it out of a empty pen refill (the thick metallic ones) and used them to make some diy towel surface like embroidery thing.

Smart bit of kit Odd. Just ordered one .. handy for making additional tie downs on tarps etc or trehugger repairs in the field. Nice vid

just got one them stitchers and tried reparing an old bag handle swapped cord for cotten and you right it a hell of a strong stitch

I’ve seen a few people with these. Pretty smart to have along with how easy these are to use.

perfect for repairs and such. I just today, struggled to fix a British hammock that a guy gave me. It needed repair and he just bought a new one. I fixed the old one and it works great.

"The value of this item is only appreciated when left behind" - Ray Mears. For self reliance and self sufficiency this sewing tool is a Must Have.

I have a similar leather stitcher, also a gift. Nice job :) Thanks Odd, take care.

Nice demo. I need to pick one up.

Well done Ode. I have had a Speedy Stitcher for quite a while. I have not had to use in in an emergency yet but have used it often for kit repairs at home and equipment mods. Thanks for sharing

Jeg har sett disse til salgs på skinnlåven i hønefoss, det friste, men å ta det med på tur er ikke for meg. Takk for underholdende film, artig!

Definatly, it is a survival tool for tarp/tent/backpack... Also need some Silicon and Mineral Spirit to water seal.

Nice work. Good choice of replacement thread too. They are a must item for sail boats too. It reminds me of the simplistic version of the tool on my Swiss Army Knife. Repair kis are definately a priority and this one would carry out those tasks which Duct Tape or Para cord cannot do. I will consider getting one. Many thanks.

I have a couple of them. One is in my 4x4 and the other one is always in my backpack, I have used it to fix my boots, backpack shoulder straps, tarps, etc. I always have a space for it :)

got one, wish i had three...handy thing to have.

Can you give me more information on the thread, I’m not sure what to buy on Amazon. What kind of thread is that, is it the same as upholstery thread? What is the thread thickness? Is it round or flat? Thanks for the tips

FYI, Your "Gap", in your stitching needle/tool, is more commonly referred to as a "slot" or "channel", designed to guide the thread in the proper direction. I enjoy your videos.

I've saved more than one pack with one of those.

Thanks, very useful instructions.

Thank you, good video!

Thanks Odd. I've been looking at these for some time wondering if I'd use it rather than my normal needle, thread and thimble. Great informative video and I now know that one's going on my Christmas list!

Awesome, tks!

A great piece of kit. Thanks for sharing. ATB. Nigel

Give me the link of the thread on Amazon please. What kind of thread? Is it waxed?

I already knew about these and was interested in getting one (even if I don't particularly need it, or it's something I needed but never knew). Thanks for the explanation on the curvy needle, I was wondering what that was for!

A smart one! Where did you buy this?

Tack för videon, riktigt smart verktyg. Jag brukar ha med mig en kraftig nål för läder och liknande tråd som du använder. Jag har lyckats laga en trasig söm i en mc-stövel. Men det var svårt att pressa nålen genom lädret i synnerhet från insidan. Med en speedy stitcher hade det var otroligt mycket enklare att sy. All the best Jonas

Good info. Some interesting thumbnails too 🤔

Hvor får jeg kjøpt en slik ?

I'm always surprised that more people don't have this in their repair kit. Great tip.

Wow you must have a very "cheap" back pack if one of your straps ripped! Unless you purposely purchased this bag so it could rip so that you can find an excuse to use your Speedy Stitcher 😂😂😂😂😂. I cannot believe you actually carry that big sewing roll with you 😂😂😂😂. You have much to learn my friend
