This is a complete kit for book binding. This kit comes with 39 pcs to create your own books and booklets. This kit can be used to create books, repair books and scrapbooking. These tool are great quality and very durable. These are very easy to use and a great value for the money.

I've been wanting to try my hand at some basic bookbinding and repair a few old favorites, and this FUXAFU kit has been an absolutely fantastic find, especially for the price! I picked it up a couple of months ago, and I'm genuinely impressed with the number of useful tools you get. It’s a really comprehensive set for anyone curious about the craft or needing supplies for paper projects.The kit comes with a great selection – a couple of bone folders (they're sturdy, smooth plastic that works perfectly for creasing paper without damage), different awls for piercing holes, a good variety of needles including curved ones, and multiple rolls of nicely waxed thread in useful colors. There's also a steel ruler, a little pair of scissors, thimbles, and even some clips. For a beginner set, the quality of the tools is surprisingly good; they feel durable enough for many projects. I've already used it to re-sew a couple of my kids' well-loved paperback books and to create a small handmade journal.I did notice the main product title mentioned a "Glue Brush," which wasn't in my kit, nor was it detailed in the itemized contents list for the 39 pieces. But honestly, considering the sheer amount of other functional tools packed in here for under ten dollars, it wasn't a miss for me at all. If you're looking to explore bookbinding, scrapbooking, or other paper crafts without investing a lot upfront, I wholeheartedly recommend this kit. It’s an amazing value and provides pretty much everything you need to get started.

(wall of text follows)Bookbinders' YT channels give good instruction in book repairs, but getting all the equipment to start was daunting, especially the cost for, say, just a plastic bone folder (not for folding bones, o/g made out of bone, now usually plastic, though you can still get bone ones).You still have to get large-scale supplies like chipboard & cover material, also the big tools, like a press, but two boards & a couple of C-clamps can do a lot for now. So can a couple of covered bricks, or a flower press. Depends on project size.If you don't recognize what you need each of these for, keep learning. I received:*****20cm ruler, 8" on the back, hole in end for hanging, as there is in the soft plastic holster. One edge on the American side goes down to 1/32ndths for finicky measurements, The other is divided in tenths of inches, to 1/20ths. My first decimal-inch ruler!*****Straight & curved bone folders, normal size, in a plastic cover. These can actually wear out & ten years from now you will need new ones.***2 flower shapes, the heads of wire needle-threaders, in a zip bag. Learn to thread without them, because wires don't last long. Or buy cheap ones by the bag.*Gold-colored thimble, the shortest I ever saw (15mm), & the widest (16mm). This is for someone with no nails & huge finger tips. Thimbles are like shoes: you have to find ones that fit you. Oversized thimbles are unsafe for pushing a needle hard. They can tilt suddenly so the butt of the needle slides off & jabs you, sometimes drawing blood. If you aren't pushing hard, you don't need a thimble! Packed with the threaders. A thimble plate on a handle would be more useful, as needing no fitting.*Leather covers for thumb & forefinger. To prevent soreness? Even in my years of hand-stitching 12-yard skirts or entire shirts or gowns on a regular basis, I never got sore. As to fit, I have little hands: the thumb cover fits me snugly & the finger cover almost too tightly. Average adults won't be able to use them, let alone big hands like my husband's. I've never seen these used by anyone.*****4 plastic tubes of waxed thread, in white, grey, taupe, & brown.****6 large & 6 small upholstery needles, in a zip bag. This looks like a lifetime supply, but I haven't done bookbinding with them, just sewing & millinery.*****3 each of 3 sizes of large-eye, round-tip needles (tapestry needles), in a hard plastic case with a screw-on top. They don't have to be sharp, so will probably never wear out.****3 binder clips, 1.25"/32mm across. You may have more; you'll need them for most projects.*****1 pair of snips, to cut thread, spring-loaded to open. The hard cover on the tips keeps them closed for storage. Nicer & sharper than any of the pairs I own, which are the all-metal medieval/Japanese style. Best thing in the set; going straight to my sewing box.*****Plain awl, dark handle, with plastic tube covering the point. Nice safety note. Used a lot & may eventually need re-sharpening.****Needle awl, light handle, plastic-tube point cover. Haven't seen one of these used for bookbinding, just leathercraft.This is all we get. The tape in the description above must be left from some other kit's description as must the glue brush and binding ribbon.These tools deserve good storage. Most will fit in a 7"/17.75cm (inside) box, but the straight folder & ruler are too long. That used an 11"/28cm long box I could empty, with the smaller box inside. It leaves room for additions, like a small box saw & a spool of linen cord when I get it. The upholstery needles need an oversized needle folder, paper or fabric.

Great value for the money. Good assortment of basic tools. Yeah, you can kinda get by with make do stuff, like using a white plastic spoon in place of a bone folder and a couple of other options, but it isn't really ideal at all and considering the affordability of this kit and how much easier it is using the "right" tools for the job, once you have put together your first journal and know you enjoy the craft, just splurge and get a proper kit. Eventually, you are going to want to add a hole punch guide (I saw one here on amazon for something like $7.99 when I looked), some acid free glue and a book press, but until then, while you are perfecting your skills, an acrylic ruler, cutting mat and white (clear drying) non toxic school glue from the $1.25 store and a couple cheap bamboo cutting boards, some parchment and a couple 28 ounce cans of tomatoes for a makeshift book press and you can get by till you are ready for the rest of the proper tools, Remember, handcrafted bookbinding is a dying art form and it's lovely to keep these old world skills alive. There is just something about having a lovely blank book and a good pen that no keyboard and monitor can really compare to.

This is a pretty comprehensive book binding kit, but you could also use this for upholstery or leather repairs. Everything seems to be good quality with great thought put into what inclusions to make for this kit. My kit is just like what is pictured, but it did not include a glue brush. To me, that's a minimal thing to be left out but it does say its included and it is not. Other than that, this is exactly as described. Still a good value for as much as you get.
