Brutal hard plastic, won't work

Gets to the point where reviews can't be trusted at all. I just assumed it would be a decent option because it had so many reviews. That thing is literally garbage in my opinion. First, the angle bar has at least an eighth of an inch of play in your saw table slot. Yes, I used the right angle bar (both sizes available). Because of this, you can't use the board to adjust this because once you tighten and then release the knobs, the corner bar will move an eighth of an inch to the left and your board will no longer touch the pin area. Plastic is the same hard, brittle plastic used to make disposable forks. You know if you bend it hard enough it will break into pieces. Because of this, there is no realistic way to maintain pressure on the side of the board, even if you can adjust it properly. The bristle would just snap if it was tight and you stuck a board into it. I mean, I don't even know how this thing sells. It's literally useless.

Pros
  • Split profile slant bar design provides maximum grip
Cons
  • Cord is shorter than other picks
