Saw this by accident, looks useful for fixing many items, but how does one use it...? Can't tell from image.

YES. This works like a sewing machine in that one thread is on one side, and another (really the same one, but it is used like a different thread) is on the other side. The needle is first pushed through, then the thread pulled out. Then the awl pulled back down and out the other side; now having thread on 2 sides of the work. Move over one stitch and pushed out to opposite side (Now 2 threads on same side). The loose thread on that side is inserted over the loop and back under for a locking stitch.Then for dangerous use such as climbing and safety gear, one can tie a square knot every stitch, or every several stitches, or simply twist the loose end around the loop 3x to prevent the stitches from running if one stitch gets cut. The thin thread is 45 pound tensile strength & the heavier thread is 55 pound tensile strength. COOL TOOL! There are different stitch patterns that hold different percentages of strength, but that is too difficult to describe and is best presented by images.If this is confusing there is a manufacturers' PDF at: http://www.speedystitcher.com/main.html

can I use any thread or do I have to use waxed thread?

Any thread works, but for heavy materials there is a lot of pressure / tension on the thread. Wax on the thread acts as a lubricant to help the needle traverse through the material. The thread is polyester, which has less stretch than nylon; 45 pound (thin) or 55 pound (heavy) thread.

What size needle is included with this? A number 2? A number 4? A number 8?

Thank you for your question. The needles included are #8 both curved and straight.
