What this tool is for

The multi-row NewEle gives you more choices across a sheet than a single line of guide holes. Choose it when you want both fold-aligned stitching and layouts nearer a cover edge, subject to the material your awl can pierce.

Fit and buying advice

The seller says the awl handle may be wood or copper, so the photo shows one configuration. Confirm the actual usable pattern and try the awl on an offcut of your cover material.

Questions about this tool

What changes from the straight-row version?

Several rows give you more choices across the sheet. The straight-row version is easier to compare if you always use one centered line.

Can I select the handle finish?

The seller describes the handle as variable. Choose a kit with a fixed handle specification if you require one.

Will the guide set the size of every hole?

It sets where the point enters. Check the awl on a spare piece to see how it pierces your material.
