I have used this more than a few times now and have to say that while it might not be the EXTREMELY expensive name brand, it does a pretty admirable job for the price. I will need to adapt a few work arounds for some of the tools that it doesn't have,but it has really come in handy! It has a substantial weight and I am still discovering all the things it can help with. I have had to look up some videos about the name brand so that I have a better understanding of all the things it should help with and have found that to be the easiest way to sort out it's pro's and cons. I will need to adapt a clamp bar that I can embed a ring into for pave' work .Overall very happy with my purchase.
