- Looks like a gimmick, or a toy, but it is a real tool
- I was a bit apprehensive about ordering this tool as it looks to be just another cheap plastic tool that "almost works". I was pleasantly surprised to find the tool very well designed and it does it's intended job very well indeed. It is fast to setup and use so you'll use it often, which is a good thing as a tool is only as good as its cutting edge. It does take two hands to operate; one to move the tool bit holder and the other to anchor the tool itself, but not big deal. Recommended.

- Drill Bit Sharpener
- After viewing the video and reading the instructions, the product was very easy to use. I was able to sharpen a set of bits and they seem to be as sharp as the day they were bought 40 years ago. I would recommend this product to any do-it-yourself person

- Don't waste your money
- DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY. Rather than wasting $120 on this tool, go to your local machine shop, pay an old timer $25 to show you how to properly sharpen a drill bit, and take him out for a coffee afterward. It will be money better spent. The bits I sharpened on this machine, especially the split points, walked all over the material and could barely drill aluminum. The method to sharpen a split point is dismal. The only useful feature on this tool is the plastic v's on the side that tell you whether the drill is at 118 or 135 degrees. Do yourself a favor and buy a bench mounted belt/disc sander and have someone who knows show you how to do it by hand. I guarantee you will be much more satisfied with the results. This tool is truly a piece of rubbish.

- Amazing
- Much to my surprize this tool is wonderful and does an excellent job. I resurrected dozens of old bits and in about 2 hours had more than my money back. A product that lives up to the hype, yes it's that good. Wish I had it years ago.
