What is each item used for?

Canvas Stretcher Pliers – Used to pull the canvas tight in order to stretch it over canvas stretcher bars.

Canvas Staple Gun & Staples –  Once the stretcher pliers have pulled the canvas material tight, the staple gun is used to hold it in place. The staples are fired into the back of the canvas.

Bradawl – To create an indentation in the back of the frame in order for the easy insertion of the screws when applying canvas fixings and hanging fixings

Contour Knife & Blades – All general trimming of paper, tape and boards and excess canvas material.
