A robust, foot‑operated press for leatherworkers, saddlers, bag makers and craft professionals who need hands‑free, consistent force for setting hardware and components. The G.P. Treadle Footpress from Abbey England is a traditional treadle‑style press that lets you use your body weight to apply pressure — giving you control, repeatability and power without the fatigue of hand‑operated tools.

Footpress machines like this are invaluable in workshop settings where eyelets, rivets, studs, press fasteners and similar fittings must be applied evenly and securely across multiple pieces. By stepping down on the treadle pedal, you engage the mechanical linkage to press tooling mounted on the press head — reducing manual effort and improving consistency compared to hand squeezing or hammer‑setting methods.

Key Features:

• Foot‑operated treadle action — lets you apply controlled, powerful force without hand strain or repetitive hammering.

• Designed for setting hardware — works with eyelets, rivets, studs, press fasteners and more.

• Bench‑mounted configuration — stable platform for workshop use.

• Mechanically efficient design — translates downward foot motion into precise pressing force.

• Great Britain workshop tool — traditional manufacturing quality suited to busy craft environments.

Whether you’re reinforcing bags with riveted hardware, installing large eyelets in straps, fitting studs to belts or saddlery, or performing other repeated pressing tasks, the G.P. Treadle Footpress gives you the stability and power to do it efficiently and with consistent results — freeing your hands for alignment and detail work.
