With this option you get just the Handyman. No accessories, dies or attachments are included. Handyman only means, only the Handyman. Nothing else comes with it. It’s just the Handyman by itself. Nothing else.

    One Press to Rule Them All

    Posted by Patrick L on 8th Oct 2024

    About 2 years ago I bought the press solely to use with the 1/4" clamps and BioThane rope for dog training leads for my small hobby retail business. It was the only product I found after months of research. It allowed me to use their clamps, which are lighter and just as strong and durable as any clamps out there. The press is impressively well-manufactured and thoughtfully designed for use with a ridiculous number of different accessories. It's truly a multipurpose machine that can be utilized in more ways than I need. Seriously—I used it for the first year solely for pressing clamps with the clamp die! However, a few months back, I grew tired of my standard BG rivet and punch press, which could only punch holes and rivets with a limited number of applications due to the tools being custom-made for that machine, as it is technically a leather punch machine. Plus, BioThane is wonderful, but it blunts leather punches like nothing else. That said, I purchased a simple punch just to see the difference. I was so excited after the first punch to see how clean the holes were in my BioThane collars. After three months and no dulling of the punches, I decided to shelve my other press and go all in on the Handyman, purchasing the centering guide to increase the accuracy of my punches so I can assure my customers a more premium product. And, man, it's such a cool contraption. It's so cleverly designed, and—as I've realized is true with all StrapWarehouse custom items—the construction is solid, well-built, and unusually adjustable, allowing me to use it to make multiple items in my product lineup. TL;DR: Buy it. The build is heavy-duty, and the design is flawless. The custom accessories and tools that can be purchased with it are just as impressive in their quality and performance. It's like a small business in one machine, and the price point is amazing. Don't underestimate the importance of customer service with a machine like this, too. To that end, I will say Marlin and the team have been nothing but delightful and happy to help me over the past few years!

    The Handyman Riverter has certainly earned it's name, "The Handyman"

    Posted by Raymond on 29th Mar 2021

    This is a very handy device. with the cutting guide, you can quickly change over from hole punching to riveting which is vital for making BioThane collars. I custom make them by hand (with the handyman) and sell at PetProMart on Etsy: https://www.etsy.com/listing/849081431/custom-personalized-biothane-collars-and? You can also find them on www.collarIDtags.com This equipment saves me tons of time and punches holes centered and with precision. It makes a much cleaner punch than I was getting with the hand punching tool and the holes are always perfectly centered.

    Jumpin for joy

    I have struggled with perfect holes in Biothane for 5 years. Finally, I found a machine designed especially for this tough material. The company is great to work with, almost immediate response time and great products. I found the website when YouTube recommended them because my searches. It’s a great way to kick off my business for the new year.
