Not much, but still fun:

The functional part of this mirrored triangular prism is 10 mm long, 5 mm wide and deep. Remember I paid $40 for this artist. Tool. It's fun to play with and can help get accurate proportions and perspective, but for most things I can do it faster by hand. Not sure what I would do to improve it, maybe a bigger prism would be good, maybe twice the current size. Even if you remove the prism, it will no longer be held in place. The prism is not held in place mechanically. I had to use Elmer's…

Pros
  • Elegant design
Cons
  • Long delivery time

Pros
  • Certified
Cons

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • Doubtful
