Tandy Leather / Stitching Irons & Groovers
Tandy Craftool Pro 88081-00 Stitching Groover
An in-line replaceable-blade groover with an adjustable edge guide, locking chuck and small modeling-spoon attachment.
CHOOSE THE TOOL FOR YOUR WORK
Set a guided channel, then switch to the spoon attachment
The Craftool Pro 88081-00 is useful when the seam needs a recessed channel before hand sewing, rather than another set of holes. Its in-line blade and adjustable edge guide let you compare a guided line relative to the edge with the free adjustment of a V-type groover.
A locking chuck holds the blade, and the cutting blade is replaceable. The small modeling-spoon attachment adds a separate creasing and detail-work option, so this is more than a cutter-only offer. The text does not give a numerical guide range or replacement-blade specification; confirm those points if matching an existing setup is the purpose of the purchase.
A recessed channel can place stitching below the surface, but the finished protection depends on the project and is not a universal durability guarantee. Compare LiebeWH for a retractable V-type cutter whose width is adjusted at the tip. Choose Weaver or WUTA chisels when the missing step is making stitch holes: a groover alone does not prepare those openings.
