This review is from: MLB "Dr. Glove" Repair Kit (Sports) Huge waste of money, the lace is garbage, tools are garbage, never use oil on a glove.

This review is from: MLB "Dr. Glove" Repair Kit (Sports) What a great kit.

Also, the U-wire lacing needle included in this kit was useless for my glove because the holes were too tight to get the needle through. |
