Title: Leather Armguard ? Is this the correct forum?
Post by: flint kemper on February 05, 2012, 12:56:00 PM

Guys was not sure where to post this? I am looking for a tool to set the boot hooks into the leather on a armguard. It has to be some type of die but google has not helped much. Thanks Flint

Have you checked Tandy's? Your local shoe shop(if there is still such a thing) will do it for you for a small fee.

Pat, Tandys has the hooks with rivets but not the press in type and no tool to do either I am told. Thanks
