Be careful the previous tool is more to create a groove for the stitch...there are other tools to do the finishing creases.
Need to heat the tools...

what do you use for strap end cutting ? I have 24mm punch but no good for small or bigger sizes
Is the lin cable so good to justify the price ?

I use good knives, but I always make a pattern on a sticker and follow the lines.

I use Lin cable but you have to wax the thread(not too much) before and don't forget to hammer the stitching at the end.Image
