We have been on the hunt for an electric creaser that is more accessible in price, so more crafters can add this to their work bench. While it may not have the premium finishes on other creasers, our main focus is the balance of performance and value. And we're confident that you'll agree too!
This creaser operates on an intelligent-control circuit board with digital temperature display. For safety precaution, machine has built-in idle mode and automatic shut-off function. When motion is not detected by the handle, machine goes into idle mode first, then shuts down when it reaches programmed time period. Both settings can be set to user's preference.
Operating the machine is simple, turn knob to set desire temperature or press knob to access settings.
Creaser handle is made out of African blackwood paired with dark walnut resting base. Creaser handle has built-in M5 adapter for creasing tips of your choice, it does not require an universal shaft.

**Artisan Leather Supply Hot Edge Creasing Machine – In-Depth Review**
**Overview**
The Artisan Leather Supply Hot Edge Creasing Machine is a precision tool designed for leathercrafters seeking clean, professional creases and burnishes on edges and seams. It's aimed at both intermediate and advanced makers who want to introduce a refined, high-end finish to their leather goods—think high-gloss edge work and fine crease lines akin to what you’d see from luxury European houses.
**Build & Design**
* **Construction**: The machine is solidly built with a compact footprint, making it bench-friendly even in tighter studio spaces. The housing is typically a powder-coated metal—durable, with a touch of industrial elegance.
* **Temperature Control**: Digital temperature control is intuitive, allowing fine-tuning up to 450 degrees. The temperature percentage bar allows visualization of when the temperature reaches the temperature range desired. The temperature range covers everything from delicate lambskin to thick vegetable-tanned leathers.
* **Interchangeable Tips**: Multiple creasing tip are available for purchase at a great price point.
**Performance**
* **Heat Consistency**: One of the strongest features. It holds temperature reliably across long sessions—no sputtering, no fade-outs. That’s crucial when doing production work or working with heat-sensitive finishes. The creaser has a safety feature and will automatically go into sleep and close modes.
* **Creasing Quality**: Crisp, clean, and uniform. The creases add an undeniable luxury finish, especially on bridle leather, box calf, or smooth vegetable-tanned hides.
* **Edge Finishing**: When paired with edge paint or wax, the machine works wonders. It can melt and seal edge paint evenly, leading to that smooth, almost glass-like finish you see on premier bags and wallets.
**Ergonomics & Use**
* **Handle & Comfort**: The pen-style tool is lightweight and ergonomic, allowing extended use without wrist fatigue. The beautiful crafted handle does not get too hot in the hand. Says a lot coming from a nurse who worked in the burn unit.
* **Learning Curve**: Moderate. If you’re familiar with heat edge tools, you’ll pick this up quickly. If not, you’ll want to practice on scrap first timing, pressure, and temp all play a role in getting it *just right*.
**Pros**
* Professional-grade finish with minimal effort
* Solid build and reliable heating system
* Easy-to-use digital interface
* Multiple tips for diverse edge work
* Compact and aesthetically pleasing
* The price point is great. This allows for having 2 separate units just in case of one of the units go out of service.
### **Ideal For**
* Luxury handbag designers
* Wallet and belt makers
* Small-batch leather brands
* Advanced leather crafters upgrading from manual creasers or basic heat pens
**Final Verdict**
**9/10 – Worth the splurge if you're serious about your edge game.**
The Artisan Leather Supply Hot Edge Creasing Machine punches well above its weight. It’s not a starter tool, it’s a level-up, a finesse machine. If your work leans into premium finishes or you're trying to stand toe-to-toe with European ateliers, this tool bridges the gap beautifully.
It doesn’t just burnish or crease it *elevates*. Plain and simple.
Item was delivered on time and well packaged. I have used it a couple of times now and it definitely makes edge creasing a lot easier.
The team at ALS went out of their way to answer my questions and fulfill my order would order from them again.
