Good price but I don't need all that stuff.

They don't sell what you need as part of the net and your only option is to buy a kit for the part you need. I don't think everyone who owns a grinder owns an ax - why would you force your customers to buy an ax attachment?

Pros
  • The best in its niche
Cons
  • So far so good

Very similar to Tormek and Jet jigs.

I bought this whole set just for the ax attachment and scissor attachment. The whole set of all 4 pieces is like a mormyshka for Tormek. I have a jet sharpener that is no longer manufactured. The jet sharpener is very similar to the Tomek, as are its attachments. Jet lights are hard to find and when you can find them, they are very expensive. Visually and dimensionally (except for the handles), wine fittings are suitable for universal support. I have attached photos comparing jet and wine with…

Pros
  • Whetstones
Cons
  • Available in white only

Hand tool needs improvement

The handles have changed at least from the high profile plastic handles but still need improvement.

Also, the new handles don't really offer a strong grip, so I had to use a dremel to make notches on the edges for more grip while gripping them to rotate. a layer of…

Pros
  • Hand tool
Cons
  • I don't remember but there was something

Good value for money

Tools are good value for money. The main problem, however, is the lack of real fine adjustment screws. Unlike the original company they copy, they don't have very precise settings for any of the adjustment screws. The screws are too big. I'm not sure why WEN chose to use coarse screws instead of fine threads, but that's the main problem I've found. The black palm rest also has no micro adjustments. There's only one tuning knob and you'll have to move the others back and forth to try and adjust…

Pros
  • Tools and Housewares
Cons
  • Slightly torn
