Best Leathercraft Lacing Needles of 2025

"I think this is a great starter set. However, the bag is a bit too small for the smoothing tool, which makes storage a little awkward. I would appreciate different sizing options, as I probably won't use most of the needles for my needs. Overall, it's good quality for the price."

"I love that the tools have more of a point while working with the Paracord! The carrying bag is nice, and I appreciate the variety of sizes included."

"This kit has all the needle sizes and fids needed to create various paracord bracelets with different cord sizes. I also like the spatula for smoothing ends that have been burned. It's a well-made and rigid set."

"I bought these for a friend, and he absolutely loves them. He’s returned to working with his leather products, and the two prongs grip the lace very well, making the process easier for him."

"These needles did the job for me. They are a little thin and flimsy, but overall, they worked just fine."

"I'm using these for making fire toys with very thin braided Kevlar cord. They can break, so buying a pack of 12 is a reasonable choice. I found that with the right trick, they can even open a pair of police handcuffs, but not if they're double-locked."

“I found this 14-Piece Paracord Tools FID Needle Set to be a fantastic and comprehensive kit for my paracord projects. The tools are crafted with precision, making it easy to create intricate designs. The variety included ensures I have the right tool for every task, and the organized storage pouch keeps everything neat. This versatile and high-quality set is definitely a worthy investment for anyone passionate about paracord crafting!”

“When I bought this kit for my paracord projects, I realized I needed more than just my fingers. It's a great little kit with useful tools that fit perfectly in the pouch. While the knife could be better, the Marlinspike is of good quality. I find it to be the most useful part, and I believe I’ll use the fids more as I improve my skills. Overall, I highly recommend this set for the price!”

“I got these tools to try out paracord, and they are just fine for casual use. While I wouldn’t say they’re pro quality, they are good enough for hobby use. The storage bag is decent but not great for storing the needles or fids. I think it works well enough to keep them all together. Overall, they’re worth the money if you’re just getting started.”

“I found these tools to be great quality and heavy-duty. The assortment of sizes is perfect! I use Mil-Spec 550 cord, and the internal diameter works well for me. The smaller ones fit Type I and micro-cord perfectly. I prefer these to larger diameter fids because they don’t leave gaps, making them just right for my needs. The case is tidy and a fantastic value for the price.”

“These tools have been incredibly handy for making decorative items from paracord. They make it so much easier to create Monkey's Fist knots, especially with my arthritic fingers.”

“I immediately used these tools to make a paracord bracelet for my husband. The smoothing tool helped me achieve professional results. With various fid sizes, adding special lacing was a breeze. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking to craft.”

"I found it easy to use, relying on my 65-year-old memory from fifth grade to stitch."

"I thought it would be strong leather thread like a baseball glove, but it's much weaker. Still, it's a great value."

"I specifically ordered this for the two longer needles shown, but they did not arrive in the kit, so I will be returning it."

"I found this tool to be well made and very useful for my boat shoes and re-cording drawstrings. It really met my expectations!"

"I purchased replacement laces for my Sperry boat shoes, and while the needle attaches well, I found the width challenging to get through the grommet."

"These tools have been a game changer for my Christmas gifts. Just what I needed, and I'm excited to check out more from their website!"

“I find these needles invaluable for my leather projects, especially when doing Mexican flat braid or buck-stitching. They last through several projects, unlike other brands I've tried.”

“These needles are great for functional and decorative leather lacing. Once I figured out the right size for my needs, they proved to be fully reliable and essential for a quality lace line.”

“I’ve been using these needles both at work and at home. With a bit of care, they last for many occasions, making them fundamental for my weaving projects.”

"This is my first time using this type of needle after 18 years of working with leather, and I really like it! They grip the leather much better than others I've tried."

"I love these needles! They make it so easy to thread all kinds of materials, including ribbon and even wire through paper."

"I found this needle exactly what I needed for my projects. It's much easier to push through than piano wire or other methods. I recommend taper-cutting the leather before threading for the best results. Overall, it's a straightforward product that works great!"

"Having two lacing needles is a game changer! I already had one that works well, but it's so convenient to use both for lacing the web of my glove. No need to unthread and switch sides. It performs excellently!"

"I primarily use this needle for lacing leather into bull riding rope handles, and I absolutely love it. It's incredibly comfortable to use and gets the job done perfectly."

"These were perfect for my project!"

"I was surprised they were sent faster than I expected."
