Super solid tool, simple design yet extremely useful!!

EDIT: The first one I got was a lemon. The first time I tried it I noticed it was loose. After using it for 10 seconds it came apart (see picture). I contacted the company directly and they answered within an hour asking me if I wanted a replacement or a full refund. I got a replacement and it seems to work much better. The edge is still not very sharp, but that is not a problem. You should probably always sharpen new tools right away. As other reviewers have pointed out, the measurements are unreadable. Again, this is not a big deal. I wouldn't have trusted them if they were. Especially at this price point. All in all, I fine tool. It looks sturdy, except for the glue holding the gauge. Also, even if you have a problem they have great customer service.

Buena calidad, es lo que esperaba

I would buy it again if the gauge marks were easier to read. Pros: - All parts metal, inexpensive. - Works well. Cons: - Reading the gauge markings is very difficult. - Broke on drop, fixed with epoxy (picture attached, this seam was very weak in my tool).

Worked really hard well

It arrived very well, it is a wonderful gauge!

Like many others who've written reviews on this product, mine came with the body in 2 pieces. They'd glued it with a tiny amount of something, presumably CA glue and it failed between the factory and delivery to me. Not a big deal though, I just cleaned it of any old glue residue and re-glued it using epoxy. The numbers are nearly impossible to read. I believe they're laser etched but they're tiny and not very deep. If you tilt it so the light reflects off it just so, you can barely make them out. If that's gonna be really important to you, you should probably pass this up. The only other thing that worries me is that the locking screw is really loose in its corresponding hole in the body. There's a LOT of play (slop) in it. If it isn't screwed down tight it wobbles like crazy so I'm concerned it may strip out eventually. Probably sooner than later. I can drill it out to the next larger size and tap it myself if it comes to that. Then I'll just need a thumb screw to match and again, if that's gonna be a deal breaker for you, you probably want to spend more money on higher quality one. But if the money is the most important thing, then the 14 dollars and change is a great price for one of these. Some of the other sellers of these things will charge almost as much for a pair of replacement wheels but Mr. Pen includes them for free. That's also a big bonus AFAIC. Overall, I'm happy with it.

It came with a bit of rust on one of the cutters, and the gold round plate glue failed so it moving all over the place. *** Update: the seller reached out to me and offered a full refund. Since I am using it, I rejected his offer, but that shows me that the seller really cares about his customers, so updating to 5 stars for that.

The tool itself seems sound but the fence came apart, likely due to the glue that was used to attach it to the thumb screw.
