Tandy Leather / Stitching Irons & Groovers
Tandy 88040-14 Angled Four-Prong Lacing Chisel
One four-prong chisel with a stated 45° orientation for 3/32 in (2 mm) wide lace.
CHOOSE THE TOOL FOR YOUR WORK
Match the lace width and angled points, not an assumed pitch
This Craftool tool is a specific angled lacing option rather than another four-piece stitching set. One 88040-14 chisel has four points angled 45°, and the description identifies 3/32 in (2 mm) wide lace as its intended size. Choose it for that lace/profile combination instead of reading 2 mm as the distance between stitch holes.
The seller describes hardened 41xx steel, subsequent case hardening, a black electrophoretic coating and a textured handle. Its use instruction calls for a mallet with a cutting board underneath. Those details define the tool and support setup without establishing a maximum leather thickness or a no-bending guarantee.
The wider product line includes other tooth counts and lace widths, but they are not all supplied here. The free description also gives 1/8 in prong and gap wording without clearly limiting it to this angled selection, so confirm exact working geometry if it drives your layout. Compare FTVOGUE for a four-tool flat set with an explicit 3 mm spacing, or Tandy’s spacer wheels when only reference marks are required.

Where this model is useful

Care instructions
Protect the points during use
Use with a mallet and a cutting board underneath, as stated by the seller.
