Leather Burnisher Bits 2-Pack for Rotary Dremel Tools – Pointed Tip and Multi Grooved Burnishing Tips Made of Solid Tropical Sandalwood Create Smooth, Clean Edges on Leathercraft Projects

My first purchase of something like this sucked. They weren't made correctly so they wobbled really bad to the point I couldn't use them But these things have saved me so much time elbow grease, especially on edging belts. Definitely a good purchase!

This is a great little set to help you speed-up burnishing. Ebony wood is well-finished and polished, and the profiles are enough to cover nearly all edges, holes, and facets you might encounter. The heads are perfectly balanced on the shanks (no wobbling). As I read in other reviews, where some users have encountered bent shanks, I've taken the advice to limit RPMs and I've had no problems with bent shanks (I'm also inserting the shank fully into the chuck, which helps to minimize the chance of bending the shanks). Make note of the size: these are smaller than hand burnishers, which is to be expected.

They work. Cut down the time spent burnishing. The one that is smaller in diameter works great. The larger is off centered it still works but not great.

Nice and smooth wood. I am using these with the flexible shaft attachment on my Dremel 4000. They seat in all the way have no wobble. I use them on the lowest setting and have done a few edges - they work just as intended. I still like to finish an edge by hand, but these do a great job getting me there, especially on longer runs. Quite pleased.

I bought these because i was tired of hand burnishing and figured that a rotary tool burnisher would be a lot nicer to use. They also seemed to be of a better quality than your typical bare, unfinished variety of wooden hand burnisher. The pieces I received looked good, but the longer spike shaped unit is a little off-center. When it's spinning on the rotary tool it oscillates a bit because of it. I usually just end up tightening and loosening the collet nut until I find a position where it is off-center the least. The spike shaped unit also has a poorly finished tip. It's flat with sharp edges, like the top of a traffic cone. I think this should be nicely rounded to use in tight areas. As it is it ends up leaving a scratch mark, while it burnishes. Both units are remarkably smooth wood. This is great for burnishing. However it means that if you use cement, say to hold two edges together while punching stitch-holes, the burnishers will tend to chatter on it and some of it will end up stuck to the burnisher. It's easy to remove, just use an eraser, but it's something you should be aware. And now how do they function as burnishers. Very well. Wet the area to be burnished, and you just barely "kiss" the edge with the burnisher. And that's about it. Like all burnishing, avoid strong pressure so you don't mushroom the edge and just be mindful so you don't burnish the wrong place. The downside of a rotary tool is although it works quickly, you can also make mistakes quickly. Practice on some scrap, it's really not difficult. Although I have a few different models on hand, I think this works best with my 'Hyper Tough' brand, 8 volt, cordless rotary tool. Easy to use as far as rotary tools go. There are some good videos on it if you search youtube for something like "hyper tough cordless rotary". There is a similarly priced Dremel 7700, but please avoid it....it's weaker and surprisingly worse quality.

I purchased used, full grain leather goods that needed a bit of care. The two bits offered sizing appropriate for the leather, and I was able to produce a well burnished edge with slight effort and a Dremmel tool. I am not a regular leather worker. I have no particular skill. I bought these purely for the limited maintenance necessary for the raw edges of products like belts, briefcases and wallets. For that, I am confident that the product will serve well for years to come.

These are going to make finishing so much faster and easier! They slot into our rotary tool and our power drill perfectly, so we can use both at the same time. Delivered next day in perfect condition, and a great price for how much work they're going to save us.

So... They work but aren’t great. Like other reviewers said they are a little off kilter. So they vibrate more than they should. I don’t think they’re gonna rip themselves apart or anything but the centering could be better.
