> 24 hourThe concept of this product is quite interesting and in practice can prevent injuries. That being said, it will take some practice for this to be the push “stick” that I reach for first. This is well made hefty. This double dose will also take up valuable shop space which is rarely available. The assembly is straight forward but tedious. And, not all of the parts included in the box need to be added to the base unit until you actually need them. Determining which accessory to use when and when two of these are needed means more practice time. Use of this requires planning, set-up and paying close attention. Grabbing the handle and just pushing things through means making sure there is clearance on the sides for the outrigger pieces. Unless you are the type that has to have everything, this is pretty costly for the average home shop. Study the information and compare it with how much and how often you make cuts that would be made easier/safer by having not only one but also two of these.

> 24 hourAssembly takes about an hour. I know this bc he who said he couldnt be bothered playing with this on his one day off, immediately tore into it like a kid on Christmas. I left for work and was updated on his progress via text. So you should know, if youre the kind of person who thinks you can figure something out, without all those pesky pieces of paper, you may think youre missing parts. Youre not. There is an addendum piece of paper to the original instructions, using new joining pieces that make assembly a breeze with all the right parts. For something so simple, it surprisingly should be a safety staple with every table saw. If youre in the business, you inevitably have heard a horrifying table saw story. This plastic handle is quite easy to grip, giving control, without sacrificing razor close cuts. Didnt think there would be a need for the 2 identical sets that come with this pack but one immediately found a home in the garage work station & the other in the truck to travel to the jobsite. All the pieces are individually packaged like you pulled them off a retail shelf & arrive in one large labeled box. Hes a carpenter and has a completely rational brain so while Tools make his eyes light up, unproven new gadgets rarely make an impression. His direct quote after trying out the Micro Jig GGG-RIPPER was This (Thing) is Dope, only he didnt say Thing but, as this is not a jobsite, I can not use his colorful language, if you know what I mean. But if youre wondering if this is worth the hearty price tag, I guess it depends what your fingers are worth to you It was worth it to the man, who is slowly investing in Festool to have the best.

> 24 hourIt takes a minute to figure out how to use these. A bit like learning to ride a bike. Spend the time and you very quickly learn that they are spectacular! Adjustability = stability, they definitely got that right. They are REALLY good at controlling the workpiece. They can be adapted to work for a wide variety of cuts on a wide variety of thicknesses. Superbly engineered product for serious woodworking. These are indispensable in my shop!

> 24 hourThe simple scrap wood stick of old has evolved into a complex set of configurable push-blocks. Used correctly this makes table saw projects safer and more precise. This is a nice addition to my home workshop.

> 24 hourWhat’s not to like? They do exactly what I bought them for...to give me complete control of the piece I’m cutting and keep my fingers in tact. Great product so far.

> 24 hourIts literally 2 of everything.. A good size heavy box with all the toys and a DVD to move you along very well made and and useful for safe efficient woodworking.. cons....Price...@ $250 this is a pricey option and sleds and other jig items can be made from scratch to replicate the product... but time is money and really this product is about safety and keep your digits out of harms way SO whats that little picky worth to you?

> 24 hourI purchased the complete set. Yes it was expensive but so are my fingers. I havent use some of the accessories but the actual product is very well thought out and you can tell it has quality. If you can afford them I would recommend them for the novice woodworker (Im including myself in that description) or a Pro they are well worth the money.
