A small, practical pair of needle pulling pliers made for hand-stitching leather.

When sewing thick leather, firm leather, or small stitch spacing, the needle can sometimes get stuck halfway through. Pulling it by hand is tiring, and regular pliers are often too bulky to keep comfortably in your hand while stitching.

These leather needle pulling pliers are designed for that exact moment. The compact body is easy to hold with one hand, while the finger ring at the end helps keep the tool close and prevents it from slipping off the bench. The spring-back jaw opens automatically after each pull, so you do not need to keep resetting the pliers by hand.

The flat serrated jaws grip the needle more securely and reduce slipping during stitching. Made from 3Cr13 stainless steel and vacuum heat-treated to HRC50+, the pliers are hard, sturdy, and resistant to bending under normal leatherwork use.

Useful for thick leather stitching, but also very handy for everyday hand sewing when the leather is dense, the holes are tight, or the stitch spacing is small.

Notes

Stainless steel is rust-resistant, but not completely rust-proof. Please keep the tool dry and avoid long-term storage in damp or salty environments.

If you are worried about the serrated jaw marking your sewing needles, you can place a thin piece of leather inside the jaw. It helps protect the needle and can also make the grip tighter.
