Find Best Price at Amazon"The tool kit I purchased when I purchased my rig came with a very small pair of ceramic tweezers that weren't big enough to use for shaping and tuning coils."
"If you don't vape you wont understand the rest of this. But BUYER BEWARE, They don't seem to work with temp control set ups on titanium."
"One thing I quickly realized about the ceramic tips is that you don't need to worry about them bending, and I doubt the solid design is prone to breaking."
"These tweezers are very well made, and I really enjoy the fact that when they're completely closed the metal 'tips' come completely together, rather than just at the very point."
"So far these have held up great and I've built probably a dozen sets of coils with them perfectly."
"My boyfriend needed ceramic tweezers for his coil building so I ordered these as a stocking stuffer for Christmas."
"This one is different, it seems to have to coating or some other type of material but it works great and tips haven't broken."
"The tweezers allow for pinching together coils for no gap coil builds while firing."

"I guess it can't be helped, since the sharp points have to be thin for the cutter to cut. Ah well because of the blades that goes misaligned when you squeeze it hard, this doesnt cut female fan header pins off a strip well."
"These wire cutters have worked well for me so far."
"I generally use these to clean up small wiring like telecom or when i am doing small board mount soldering and i need to clean up some jacket issues or even small overflows of solder."
"I tend to grab these cutters as opposed to a small cuticle scissors or nail clipper as the black tips show exactly where you are cutting when faced with shiny wire and shiny atty posts."
"I literally keep one of these about every two feet on my twelve foot bench so I'm never more than arms reach away from one."
"I tried to cut ducting wire which is really thin but very springy and it managed to chip the cutter."
"I've used it just a couple of times at this point so I can't speak to it's ultimate longevity but it works well. The cutter I was using before I got these was just tool large for the task and I couldn't seem to get flush enough to the board."

Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"The cross grain cut picture despite it looks like planed it is not, it is just right after cut, just incredible."
"The first one I bought was a Dozuki dovetail saw when I first started learning hand-tool woodworking. I can honestly say I may not have persevered to this point in my hand-tool woodworking education if I was unable to use a sharp saw. And when you don't have a hands-on teacher, i think it can be a slower learning experience, but it is totally possible to do if you have the passion, determination, and some decent tools. I would advise anyone inexperienced with japanese saws to take a few moments to watch some you-tube videos demonstrating how to properly use this tool. Sometimes this is less painful for my back because I'm standing straight up instead of bent over a saw bench with a western hand-saw. If you are planing on making any type of joints please do yourself a favor and get a Dozuki style saw as well as this one. The stiff back plate on the dozuki (just like the back on a western-style dovetail, tenon, or miter saw) keeps the thin japanese saw plate stiff so that your cuts come out perfectly straight. The bottom line is this: If you use this Ryoba saw for the tasks it was intended for, it produces great results."
"Apparently, it makes a long job short!"
"I'm somewhat new to hand saws and I feel like these are easier to control than the traditional "english" saws which cut on the push stroke as opposed to the pull stroke with this saw."
"This saw is big enough to tackle a big job, but small enough to get into small or tight spaces."
"Super useful for switching between cross-cutting and rip cutting."
"I'm moving to this Japanese hand saw after using an American Shark saw for a while...What a worthy choice!"
"used once so far and bumped the back of my hand on the teeth."

Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"Ok, I've broken more axes, mauls, hammers, hatchets and other hand tools than most will ever own in their life. I've used them, abused them, and feel I can honestly say that I know a well-made tool when I see one; whether it is a true Ames shovel or an Estwing hatchet. To the reviewer that said his 11-year old daughter broke it on the first day, got news for him, I'm 6'5", almost 300 pounds, can probably lift my weight plus some, and I am NOT going to break this hammer this year. Considering that I gem-hunt and gold prospect dry placers, that amounts to thousands of blows by a gorilla that knows how to break a tool. Yes, the handle is rubber (overcoating the single forged piece of steel underneath), and yes, it is a hammer. It is a rather BIG rock hammer, the sticker on it said it was 20-ounces, and I didn't weigh it when I got it, but I'm guessing closer to 26-ounces, by the feel of it compared to my ripping hammer (again, I'm stuck on a 11-year old girl breaking this beast...it's like saying, 'and yes, my daughter just came out of diapers yesterday and she threw my 20-pound sledge out in the yard and broke it, right there, on the spot!)."
"I metal detect and I was running into problems where I wanted to metal detect gravel parkinglots. Only a minor con which isn't really a con but sometimes I smash the #*#*#* out of the coins trying to dig them out."

Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"The construction is very solid and can turn the most novice knife sharpener into a pro if judging the blade edge. However, I would add a razor sharp blade is not as forgiving as a sharpened blade. Practice With a Cheap Knife: The real skill is when to let go of the trigger so that is does not grind more on the tip of the blade than the recommended "1 inch per second" and following the contour of the knife edge while maintaining proper contact with the belt. It Can Make a Mess: After sharpening 8 or so blades I noticed my dining table (live in an studio so no man cave garage here) covered in shavings and whatnot. I also wished I had a face mask for the first marathon since you will be looking and making excuses to sharpen every blade in the house to make it pass the paper test. Master the Marathon: I noticed that the main difference between say a kitchen knife and pocket knife is the angle since they both use the same main 3 belt grits (coarse, medium and fine). If I’m going to have a sharpening marathon I separate my kitchen and pocket knifes yet use the same belts instead changing the belts per group of knives."
"The Worksharp Knife & Tool Sharpener Ken Onion edition...For 7 months I debated w/ myself over and over about "biting the bullet" and getting a power tool to help me sharpen knives more efficently. If the weight of the knife is all the pressure you use, the blade can easily be "leaned back" and hovered past the belt and the sharpness you seek comes faster. Set the knife into the sharpener, and REST it on the angle guide, using JUST enough pressure to keep it sliding against the guide. This is a great tool for beginners, and a Godsend for experienced sharpeners, but it doesn't possess the power of an angle or bench grinder. Remember that sharpening isn't a race, and if you don't feed your family doing it, its far better to proceed SLOWLY and watch what youre doing. NEVER drag the tip of any knife blade more than 1/2 way off the belt. Start w/ tool OFF, set blade into the angle guide, and using the weight of the blade, and GENTLE guidance, manuver the blade toward the tip, following the shape of the blade. If you are using the "crossbar" blade guide, DO NOT press the knife edge into it, that will dull your knife, defeating the purpose. The coarser belts will produce loads of fragments that can gum up the sharpening guide, cassette workings etc. I sharpened a RUSTY old HC steel butcher's knife, started w/ the coarsest belt I could find, established a "working edge", and went from there. All belted abrasive tools need time/patience to get good, but it'll be less time than with stones!! The "medium grit" belt is normally used for sharpening a well-cared for blade on occasion as needed, the fine grit for semi-regular honing, where you want something more aggressive than a steel, but less than attempting to adjust a primary grind to facilitate sharpness. Also, if you have a combo edge knife, each portion of the edge must be sharpened INDEPENDENTLY. Sharpen the plain edge parts as normally done and then follow the directions for sharpening the serrated parts the way you would a fully serrated blade."
"Aslong as you FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS you will get great results.keep the edge perpendicular to the belt and stop the tip in the middle of the belt and kill the power you won't get rounded tips.also place the knife in position before turning it on, otherwise you'll end up making you knife a recurve."
"Also, I ordered several additional 3/4 x 12 inch belts in varying grits from Econaway Abrasives (I don't work for them) so I am set for years. If you are looking for the perfect gift for a hunter, fisherman, or knife enthusiast, then this is it!"
