Ivan Leather Roughing Tool

Ivan Leather Roughing Tool.

Contour Design with Replaceable Pad.

The Ivan Leather Roughing Tool is an essential piece of equipment for any leatherworker seeking strong, reliable adhesive bonds. Designed for comfort, control, and durability, this tool is ideal for prepping leather surfaces before gluing, ensuring your work holds up over time.

The contoured wooden handle offers a natural, ergonomic grip that fits comfortably in the hand, reducing fatigue and improving precision during use. Whether you’re roughing the edges of belts, bags, wallets, or layered panels, the handle design helps you maintain control with minimal effort.

The tool features a wide 10cm (4") rougher pad—perfect for scuffing smooth leather to improve glue adhesion. This surface texture allows adhesives to penetrate more effectively, forming a stronger and longer-lasting bond between pieces. Adjacent to the pad is a 6.5cm (2-5/8") brush area that helps sweep away dust, fibers, and debris from the leather’s surface, further enhancing glue performance and reducing contamination.

One of the standout features of this tool is its replaceable pad system. When the abrasive surface wears down, simply remove and replace the pad without having to discard the entire tool. This makes the Ivan Roughing Tool both economical and environmentally friendly, extending the tool’s lifespan while maintaining its effectiveness.

Durable, versatile, and built for repeated use, the Ivan Leather Roughing Tool is a must-have for leathercrafters who demand consistent results. From preparing bonding areas to ensuring cleaner glue joints, this tool helps elevate the quality of your finished work.
