Excellent dressing tool - abrasive and finish

Nearly the gold standard for disc tools. Works well, lasts, parts are interchangeable. I can even use it on whetstones I find.

Pros
  • One year trial
Cons
  • Negligible repairability

LARGE STAR WHEEL RIGHTENER

Works as expected. I cleaned and threaded a 46 grit carbide wheel in seconds with very little chainring wear. Also put on a blue steering wheel but had to use a very light touch.

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Faulty

Great dressing tool

The tool works well. I only need it occasionally, but it's well built. I also bought spare cutters so I have them when I need them. I would recommend this to others. It is probably not suitable for daily or intensive use.

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Not bad but...

Suitable for roughly dressing a disc

This wheel dresser is very useful for rough dressing, meaning initial dressing of a new wheel or repairing damage, but I would recommend having a diamond tool for final dressing if you are reusing a grinder to sharpen a guide tool.

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • No Guide

Definitely a good buy

Bought to replace another brand that broke. It was actually half the price of what I replaced and was much stronger. I couldn't find it in town so I bought it off Amazon and hoped for the best. I was very satisfied, as I said, it's half the price, more durable and you can swap wheels with it. I tried this the other day and it worked great.

Pros
  • Great fit for me
Cons
  • Only available in black

Served its purpose but at a great price

This dressing tool did a good job of dressing a new stone I bought which was not round but the tool did during the process suffered a lot and I can't see him doing this too often until the truing discs need to be replaced. For the money I paid I expected it to be more durable; The dresser's wheels appear to be made of soft metal. I would not buy this item again.

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • Communication with seller
