Here's a quick video showing how I used the Speedy Stitcher to repair a multi-tool sheath. I used the stitching technique that I developed in this video where I was repairing a torn pair of coveralls. I also did an in-depth review of this handy tool a couple days ago.

Gear Repair with the Speedy Stitcher
Here is a tutorial on how to use the terrific Speedy Stitcher sewing awl to repair some torn hunting coveralls.
I was inspired by this rare sighting of a Sasquatch cleverly attempting to disguise himself as a hunter. Luckily, I noticed his sasquatch fur poking out through a huge tear in the left knee of his coveralls and was able to escape with my life.
When I got home, I decided that my own coveralls could use a little work. From the looks of my sewing job, you can see that I'm clearly not a tailor, but the repair is super strong and only took a couple minutes to do. Here's how I did it:
If you missed my Straight Shootin' Gear Review of the speedy stitcher (which includes a detailed demonstration) you can see it here.
If you'd like to pick up a Speedy Stitcher, you can order it from Cabelas or through Amazon.

Speedy Stitcher
This is the first in our series of Straight Shootin' gear reviews, where we reveal the good, the bad, and the ugly about hunting products. Let's face it, the design, the quality, and the effectiveness of the gear you carry into the field can dramatically impact your success, your enjoyment, and even your safety.
With so much riding on selecting the right piece of gear for the job, our mission is to help you sort through the hype and PR and get to the reality of what works and what doesn't. We don't accept advertising or in any way have a monetary relationship with any manufacturer, so our opinions are guided by our years of hunting experience and our field testing results.
With that said, here is our video review of a neat little item that is not really hunting gear, per se, but a tool that can extend the life of lots of your favorite stuff and save you a bundle in the process. I've used it to repair slings, sheaths, waders, boots, jackets, and tons of other stuff. In the follwing videos, you'll see how straightforward and easy it is to use.
If you'd like to pick up a Speedy Stitcher, you can order it from Cabelas or through Amazon.
