Will be using next weekend but until then this honing tool is as good as any the rest are more expensive In all honesty it's probably made in the same factory in China as all the others I'm a " Handyman" who uses this tool on rare occasions, and this tool will serve me well (as long as I don't forget where I put it between jobs). Is this tool good enough for an "official" workshop? Probably. I appreciate if said workshop is careful with their tools, but that's not usually the case lol! the bricks on this tool can be replaced, although the entire block doesn't cost much more than replacement bricks.
