I prefer this most of the time. The E100 is designed for one-way use. E200, the second one I bought is unidirectional. I'm left handed and I like these. The whole system including the holder works well for me as I work part time, I use them for deburring edges after milling or turning. They seem to be made out of pretty strong steel as I haven't broken any yet. They dull over time and are easier to replace than to sharpen. I highly recommend these tools.
