Between all the neat tools and great kits, I am going to need a second job.
Thanks for the review on this one. Looks like a nice tool to have on the work bench.

Hear ya on that note, Jim...
Nice, well made tool, great results, and very easy to use....all around, a good addition to your tool-box, IMHO, no matter what genre of the hobby that you model most in.

A great tool and seems like a great company. One of those headslappers -"wish I'd thought of it!" I will consider one for my next project, thanks Gunny!
