Revainrating 3 out of 5

It's hard to squeeze or I'll get weak!

Not that I use hand tools much. But having been a contractor since 1991 and working in the construction industry since the 1960's, it seems like it took a lot of effort to make it work. And it's a feat in giving you a finished edge in one pass. I had to reconfigure it 4-5 times before I could get it to work acceptably. Maybe that's to be expected, I don't know. I almost wish the blades weren't so sharp. The only thing I haven't tried is setting the blades flatter and then making them a little deeper again and again, that's a lot of work. Maybe I'll dig out my scraper set and try it out. I also ordered a 1/8" radius but it looks like 1/4". Maybe they sent me the wrong blades?

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Quality
