June 2025 | BLG Recommended Tools PDF

One of the most common questions we get is: What tools do you recommend? This PDF includes our current list of recommended tools, divided into two categories: best value and best performance. In some cases, the same tool fits both, and we’ve listed it once. Every item includes a link for easy access.

Keep in mind that some prices reflect sets while others are for individual tools—for example, a set of Wuta round pricking irons costs less than one Sinabroks iron. Be sure to compare prices on an apples-to-apples basis.

If you have a favorite tool you think we should include in the next version, feel free to reach out—we’re always open to great suggestions.
