This category includes niche hand tools such as nipple extractors, grommet setters, fret saw frames and leather punches. These tools solve specific problems and make specialist tasks easier.
What are specialist hand tools used for?
Specialist hand tools are designed for unique or precision tasks that general-purpose tools can’t handle effectively. For example, nipple extractors remove small threaded fittings, grommet setters install fabric or leather eyelets, fret saw frames allow intricate curved cuts, and leather punches create clean holes in hides.
Do I need specialist tools if I already have basic hand tools?
For everyday work, basic tools may suffice. However, specialist tools make certain jobs faster, safer, and more accurate. If you regularly work in areas like leathercraft, fine woodworking, upholstery, or metal repair, these tools can greatly improve your results.
How do I care for niche tools to keep them performing well?
Clean them after each use, store them in cases or rolls to prevent damage, and keep cutting edges sharp. For adjustable tools like fret saw frames or grommet setters, check for wear and tighten moving parts before each use.
