I'm going on 5 years and am really happy with the durability of the bags. The corners of my small green shop sack have gotten worn but that's about it. I use it more than the large one. Marc On Tuesday, May 2, 2017 at 2:21:15 PM UTC-4, Timothy Orr wrote: > > Hey, Y'all > > I've been using

Rivendell sells, or used to sell, this -- I got one from them. Frankly, I find that a regular awl, good fat needle, and waxed thread is just as fast, but this does work. On Thu, May 4, 2017 at 6:14 AM, Jon Dukeman,central Colorado < row.n.2nowh...@gmail.com> wrote: > Tim, > Here's a great tool

My medium Green is three years old and holding up great. I have one hole in it after the bag flew out of my basket and hit the concrete with a bunch of heavy stuff inside. Can't blame the bad on that one :) On Tuesday, May 2, 2017 at 3:26:27 PM UTC-5, Tony DeFilippo wrote: > > I'm going on 3

I'm going on 3 years I think with my green medium... Couple holes along the center bottom stitching and definitely wear and 'beusauge' but I've been delighted with the simplicity and robustness of mine. 7 months to first hole send a bit fast but obviously every bag sees much different
