Customer Rating: - Just in time for baseball season
I purchased this product in late 2007 as a gift for my son so that "he" could learn how to restore his favorite baseball glove - which has seen a lot of game play.

Most everything you may need to re-stitch the lacing of a glove is there. The kit also comes with fairly insightful (but generic) instructions to re-lace the glove. Not every glove is the same - but the guidelines give you good enough general directions on glove repair even if your glove shape differs from the one used in the instruction guide.

On actual use of the kit, the task fell to "Dad" (me) (hey, my son's a 13 year old -- typical teenager). It was actually a fun project. My only complaint was that the threading tool did not hold up too well. Half way through the re-lacing, the wood handle separated from the metal stitching rod causing some delay in finalizing the project. However, I managed to jerry-rig the tool to finish the job.

The results were wonderful.

My reason for "4 stars" rather than "5" was the failure of the stitching tool - but even more so because of the manufacturer's (not the seller) poor attitude and total failure to stand behind its product after I voiced my concerns with the failure of the above-referenced tool. They pretty much took the attitude that "it is your problem bub, not ours!"
