This soapstone holder is exactly what we needed for our shop. Based on our own experience, IT'S constructed with industrial and scientific precision... The stainless steel finish is strong and durable, perfect for the wear and tear of daily use. The holder keeps the soapstone securely in place without slipping, so we can mark our metal pieces with accuracy and efficiency. The only con is that it doesn't come with any soapstone included, but thats an easy fix. Overall we're very satisfied with this product..
