REI Members get back an estimated 10% on this item as part of their annual member refund.

The REI Member Dividend

The REI dividend is a unique benefit of membership in the REI co-op. It's comprised of your member refund—typically 10% back on eligible purchases—and/or your REI Visa® card rebates.

Each March, active REI members and REI Visa cardholders who earned a rebate receive a refund in the form of an annual dividend notice.

Only active members receive annual dividend notices. To maintain your active status as an REI member, you need to make net merchandise or shipping purchases of at least $10 per year, unless you joined that year. Member numbers are issued in one name and only that person receives the member refund. Your number can be used by others in your family, but it cannot be transferred to someone else.

Questions? Call us at 1-800-426-4840 for more about your dividend or its redemption.

Comments about Speedy Stitcher Sewing Awl:

I've used these for literally, decades. Mostly to repair boots and backpacks in the field. Pull a tight stitch and be sure your ending knot is good and doesn't come undone and it is a very strong and durable repair. [...]

Comments about Speedy Stitcher Sewing Awl:

I have used the speedy stitcher awl to fix my backpacks and even repair the canvass exterior to my Jeep. It makes easy, tight, tough stitches. The thick wax thread is up to almost any job. I love this tool. I take it in my Jeep on extended trips so if someone has a tent, backpack or other equipment failure, I can fix the item on the spot.

Comments about Speedy Stitcher Sewing Awl:

I am in the military, got my stich awl in '03 used it to repair the seams on my combat boots (which I wore for an additional 3 years after the repair), the boot leather finally ripped through leaving me to buy a new pair of boots but the stitching held strong and true right up to the end. The concept is straight forward and the directions are just as easy to understand. This should be in every adventurers tool kit.

Comments about Speedy Stitcher Sewing Awl:

Ordered this as a few repair projects had been building up. Finally ordered it in hopes to repair a heavy vinyl/naugahyde type material that I had been quoted over $400 to replace. $10 later and 30 minutes of my time including reading the directions and it's fixed. Should have gotten this long ago. Definitely should be a fixture in all outdoors persons tool chests. Now on to my backpack straps, duffel straps, stirrup leathers, boots, etc. Overall idiot proof. Works good, lasts long time.

Comments about Speedy Stitcher Sewing Awl:

Used my son's Speedy Stitcher to replace broken plastic belt attchment for cell phone holster. Sewed on nylon strap so well I'll go buy the Stitcher for myself. Just have to keep finger away from point of penetrating the fabric or other item (very sharp tip).
