Does what it's supposed to, but very poor design. The tip moves, there is no bearing, the pen "chatters" and doesn't hold very well. The seller does not accept returns. So it's kind of a boost.
The unit I received did not have a recess on the opposite end of the roll pin. The description clearly states that this function is available. The fixture was very rough and exhibited significant lateral displacement of the pin as it passed through the hardened bar.
Bought this for a guy at work but secretly wanted to see how good it was for such a low price. Well, as you might expect, it wasn't B&S quality like what I have in MY toolbox. In fact, I don't think they even sharpened the small shank. It slides in and out like a twisted shaft. But hey, it sits in the middle and holds the faucet well. That's all you need - right? I told him to leave it and his money. It was worth my curiosity.
