More About This Product:

Roughers are a must have tool in any leather shop when you are working with adhesives like contact cement or water based glue. This one gives you a wide pad for prepping larger areas and a pointed end for tight spots or edges. The removable pad makes it easy to clean or replace when it wears down. If you have ever had a glue joint fail or peel apart, using a rougher like this helps the adhesive bite deeper into the fibers so your project stays put. It is simple, sturdy, and something you will reach for on almost every build.
