> 3 dayIt gets the job done but only one bit (deep v) fit snugly. The ends you put into the bit are inconsistently curved and some werent making enough contact. Problem was resolved by wrapping a piece of masking tape around the inner bead. I could do maybe a half hour before my hand cramped into a claw. There are better sets out there but for the price, this is a good starting point for beginners.

> 3 dayThis was exactly what I needed for a craft project. It has several heads to choose from, it easy to use and was a good price. My only issue with this was there were NO instructions on how to put the heads on. I struggled with trying to figure out how to make it work. Luckily my boyfriend was able to figure it out for me, but they should really include instructions.

> 3 dayI bought this set at the last minute knowing I had the same set somewhere in my storage. I needed to use it for pumpkin carving and didnt have time to go through boxes. I have to say that the quality is tried and true over the years. I bought my first set 30 years ago for linoleum printing (wooden handled) and have used it for other things as well over the years. I bought another set ten years ago to teach a class and the quality was still there and now this set also. I bought the same set again because I knew it would work for pumpkin carving and the price isnt expensive.

> 3 dayIm not sure if it was just mine but the pieces wouldnt fit correctly and either would keep falling out, or getting stuck in the handle.

> 3 dayBox was a bit crumpled when it arrived- wasnt packages very well. But its a hard plastic tool its durable. That was my only complaint, since I was planning to store it in the box but now it doesnt stay closed.

> 3 dayThere isn’t much to this cutter, but it does what I want. Price was reasonable for someone just starting out. Easy to hold and operate. The blades get stuck and you have to finesse them out when changing them, but otherwise a good little tool.

> 3 dayIt’s ok, but, not great! Blades are dull compared to the Flexcut tools which slide like going through butter. This set required more effort. So, I find myself using it less. Not a precision built design. The blade comes loose repeatedly and requires tightening too often! Over tightening can jam the blade making it very hard to release. Too frustrating to use this much. I only keep it as a backup.

> 3 dayThis needs better directions on how to put the nib where it belongs. Once you figure that out then everything else goes smoothly. Very easy to hold...with proper instruction a beginner can use this easily the very first time. I suggest buying this and trying this because it does work very well.
