takes some practice and patience

These seem like a good idea, but the spikes are so long that it's hard to walk.  You have to pull straight up with your foot, to avoid ripping out pieces of sod.  If the ground is a little wet, these get caked up with mud pretty quickly.

That said, I use these instead of buying a larger tool, and find that with a little practice, they work fairly well.

Not so easy but with time and patience can be learned

not the easiest to install, but for the price you can't complain, reccomended for practice before you install anything more expensive

Takes some work but well worth the effort if you follow the instructions. Plan on at least an hours work  for good results

Tried this out and it works and looks fun to use. It will take some practice to figure out what to make with it.

This is a fun one to do, and fairly simple.  It takes a bit of work to figure out the right touch, but once you have it, it should work every time.

Even though this is a going to be a gift, I tested it in order to review it. I may add to my review after my grandson tries it. Let me start by saying that I am not an artistic individual, but I wanted to give this a try. I will admit that nothing I "created" was worthy of posting here. This is not for the faint of heart. It does take some skill and patience. I think with practice, I would be able to make some pretty neat things. I like the different colors that you have available to use, plus with this one you can use 2 different types of the filament instead of just 1 as some of the other brands. It does have a temperature adjustment and an automatic off if unused for 5 minutes. This product should not be used by children without adult supervision as the tip does become hot. I would advise you to order extra filament when you order the pen as there is not much included with the pen. The instructions are a bit difficult to understand in places as they obviously are translated from Chinese using a semi-adequate translator. Sometimes they are funny. There are many brands of these on the market now, some cheaper, some more expensive. They will improve, but these are fun to play with now.

Lovely to work with, but takes a long time to harden and set.

Good stuff .... takes some learning curve to use it but very good stuff.

First two times, this tool created really nice wood grain. It is a bit hard to clean, however, so the next usage was not as smooth, as a little paint was stuck in the grooves. I am still getting the hang of it, but definitely creates a realistic look once you get a bit of practice.

Harder than it looks to do, but this is a great product

Takes a little practice to get the hang of it. But once you can follow a straight line, it is very helpful because you can see through to bottom to what you are cutting

Took me a while to get the hang of this, being a novice sheet rock installer on a home project, but after a few tries I think I managed to get into a flow.

Following this technique you will get wonderful results, but you need to have patience.  Patience both in reading/comprehension as well as executing the technique.
I had seen a Stack-n-Whack quilt completed at a local quilt store.  It was stunning!  The store offered a class, but of course, it was already full.  I was told that the class is so popular it usually fills in the first week it's offered. So, I made an attempt at it with the book alone.  It was tedious at first, and I had to read the how-to's more than once.  The patterns it created from only one print fabric were so varied it was amazing.  Generally, I have trouble choosing colors for quilts, and with this technique all you need is one fun bold fabric, background and borders.
The author offers many helpful hints on selecting fabrics and has included photos of do's and don'ts.  It shows each step through photos of an actual quilt's progress, so follow the photos as you read the instructions and you'll do fine.
I can't wait to start my next one!

It took me a few tries to get the hang of using this...but it is SO worth the effort. It can be a bit tricky to get the paints to come out evenly, especially if you are working a long stretch of bullnose corner. The final result was gorgeous! Waaaay better than trying to blend by hand or even worse, get a straight blunt line on the bullnose corner.

I had to practice a little bit to get the hang of it.  It's a great little machine.  It is a wonderful time saver.

This works well but takes a little practice to get used to using it. The reviews I read before purchasing were right in that the very first time you edge your lawn or garden you may need to go over it several times before the desired depth is reached. Only used it one day so far but it seems to work well at this point.
