Now; Do not attempt to use it to sharpen lawn mower blades. But for fine intricate work on female nails; or glass etching or engraving on plastic, metal or ? It will perfectly suit your needs! Again, NOT for heavy use. But light work; You can't beat the price! It's much cheaper than the D*emel version. But if you watch it here, you know what. Just don't expect him to do everything. If you use it for "Easy" works, it will suit you. It does what you want and knows the limits. Did I mention how easy it is? Yes, very easily. Small hands are easy to control.
