Well done Mr. Brown

Well designed and built. Works well for minimizing variability between sharpening, minimizing stock removal and increasing tool life.

Pros
  • Confident
Cons
  • Quick Start Guide

Revainrating 3 out of 5

too expensive and none of the angles fit my tools

I don't know how they determined the angle of the various notches, but none of them matched what I have. It's also too expensive for a piece of plastic. I do not recommend this remedy.

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.

Fast and easy to use.

Adjusting tool angles involves guesswork, trial and error. Now just mount the bracket on the bike and you're done. It's better to set the angle by eye and put a mark on the tool, and if it's wrong, keep readjusting. I like it.

Pros
  • Easy setup
Cons
  • Available in black only

It works but it's too expensive

It works so it gets three stars. As for why it won't, it's because it's a cheap 8-inch piece of plastic with a stamp that probably costs a dollar. However, they take twenty. I agree a reasonable profit, but you can buy a lot of black pencils for twenty bucks.

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • Not the best
