Good tool with high precision when working

Good tool with high precision when working. As others have said, the tool may not always work when used. It looks like the design of the battery cover is such that moving the tool can cause the batteries to become disconnected. This is already apparent after a short period of use when installing and removing the tool from the machine. What worked a few seconds ago when touching the other edge suddenly stopped working. This problem can cause damage to the tool or part when it is moved to touch the workpiece. If the tool's battery cover has been changed, I can buy it again. However after a few instances where it appears to flex rather than ignite on contact I no longer trust the accuracy of the tool I have and will not be using it again. Another important feature is that this tool should not be used with the spindle turned on. His instructions specifically state that the spindle must remain off during use. (Which in itself is a deal breaker for some.)

Pros
  • Robust design
Cons
  • No automatic
