This is a wonderful tool.  Keeps the masa even and thin which I like.  This was my first attempt at making tamales and they came out great.  Would recomend watching the makers video on YouTube, very helpful for a Gringo.

This is a terrific tool for anyone who has a small shop or has less than gargantuan strength. Ripping a full sheet of 3/4" ply on a table saw was the normal way throughout my youth, but I just can't get it in position today. With this clamp I simply wrestle the sheet on to a set of low saw horses and then set the clamp to the line with an offset for the width of the guide on my circular saw. Of course with a helper one can make make the table saw work fine but the cut will be no more straight or accurate than can be accomplished with this tool. Get one. Save your back.

Just a wonderful tool. I use it almost every day. It is well made and sharp it holds an edge very well.

This is a simple tool that works great. There appear ro be three round permanent magnets inside the housing.  Pulling on the handle moves the magnets away from the flat base releasing whatever was attracted to the magnets.

I also have the 16 pound version but prefer this one for picking up small metal object#s such as tumbler pins.

This is my bee tool -- only one I use. It is ideal for (gently) breaking loose frames in your hives, an prying/lifting them up. It is stainless steel, so I don't have to worry about rust, and when I want to clean it, I can get the wax off with alcohol, and then scrub it with dishwashing soap in warm water. The edges are good for scraping off comb along the frames and walls, or anywhere you don't want it. The tool is solidly made and will last a lifetime. It is always in the pocket of my beek suit.

Good value for the money. Recommended.

We love pineapple but I don't buy it often because it is difficult to cut. Pineapple King to the rescue as this great tool made it so easy to core, cut and remove the skin. The stainless steel product is dishwasher safe and clean-up is quick. I have another pineapple corer/peeler but it does not work as well and does not slice the pineapple either. I was happy to test this product for a reduction in cost and pleased to tell you that it is a wonderful kitchen tool. Must include it in the next bridal shower gift basket.

I have used this a dozen times and absolutely love it.  I feel like a  ninety year old twisting wire nuts all day by hand. This tool is a life saver.  seems a bit over priced, but time will tell

This tool is one of those devices that comes along and forever changes and simplifies a task. In this case, it's calculating the exact degree of a miter joint, be it a perfect 45 degree miter for a corner that's exactly square (rare) or an out of square head-scratcher. This baby takes you to the correct angle in quick time, and it's accurate too. It allows me to work instead of calculate, and it reduces mistakes and wasted mouldings. I love it, and I don't give tools a good review unless they deserve it.

This is a great opening tool. The thin metal makes it easy to get into many tight spots that other opening tools can't get into. The vinyl coating that makes the handle makes the tool reasonably comfortable to use as well as providing adequate grip on the tool. The tool is flexible but still stiff enough to use effectively. I'ts thinness as well as its, shape and size makes it ideal for getting under the glass for removal. I have used this on phones, tablets and laptops for the purpose of glass replacement and it has proven extremely useful in all situations.

This tools is metal and can damage the bezel and or the LCD. Caution is required to not scratch or damage the LCD. However, this tool is often the one that I use to get an opening started so that I can get other tools that are less likely to cause damage to the LCD between the bezel and the glass. If I'm careful I can use this tool to get around the entire glass without causing any damage from the tool.

I had been using Fiber board blades quite some time for Hardi planks and backers. I decided to break down and get the Hardi shears because the dust from the blades was horrible. I was amazed at how well it worked. It is light weight, very easy to control and keep straight, even on rip cuts. The variable speed is very convenient. It also has a handy belt clip built in.

It seems relatively pricy considering it only has a 6.8 amp motor (maybe a drill motor, but is definitely adequate). I had trouble justifying the price till I actually used the tool, and now I wish I had purchased one a long time ago.

I really do like this tool and would recommend it anyone however I have one major complaint. The trigger lock is located exactly where your thump rest and will accidentally engage frequently. I have found this problem on other tools. The trigger lock should be located ergonomically accessible, but not in a location that makes accidental engagement so imminent.

Hence the Four Stars...

A great tool. I use three of these to shield the surrounding area when I sear on my two-burner griddle. They work perfectly. No spatter anywhere, and they clean easily. Mine have rolled edges and are not at all sharp. Excellent addition to my cooking. When folded for storage, the two take hardly 1/2" of space.

This is another terrific tool for the right job. The only reason I didn't give this a "5" is that I wish it were smaller (size, not dimension) for those tight spaces.

I love the design it gives my bread and it shapes the bread beautifully. It helps the bread rise uniformly. I love this tool

I love this tool.  I have owned the same one for years and used it frequently.  I have used it to instruct others on its use and have used it not only to light char cloth and tinder bundles but it is also very good at lighting liquid fueled stoves quickly and efficiently.  It is bulkier than many other sparking tools on the market.  While some may consider its bulk and weight to be a detriment, its thick diameter allows for heavy, heavy use. It also has a storage compartment in the handle for storing the tinder cubes that come with it. While I have no problem with the ones that come with the device, I prefer to stuff it full of tinder quick tabs sealed inside a small zip lock style bag.  This is a very robust, reliable and simple to operate piece of gear.  No one should be without one of these.

I bought this to replace an earlier model that got lost in transit when we moved. It  is a real handy helper to have when making tortillas. Follow the recipe for flour tortillas in the little recipe book that comes with it. I make a few changes - - - They get eaten so fast that I make a larger amount:  3 cups of unbleached, all purpose flour, 3/4 tsp salt,6 Tbls good quality solid stick margarine (cut into small pieces) 1 cup warm water.  I also use a little baking powder - a tsp. or so. I mix the dough quickly in a food processor. and put it in an airtight plastic container when it is mixed. Handle the dough as litle as possible. Let it rest in a cool place for an hour or two. Use the hottest setting when shaping the tortillas.
I feel that this tortilla maker is not meant to cook the tortillas - only to shape them and leave on the bottom plate (the hottest part) for a minute or two, so the don't stick together when stacked. We always cook our tortillas over a gas stove burner, one at a time. Store them is an airtight manner in the fridge - they will keep for several days.
I went into such a long review of this product because some reviewers didn't feel that it performed in a satisfactory manner.  I find it to be an excellent product when used properly. I love mine, and so does my husband who grew eating his Mom's hommade tortllas.

This tool opens and closes with a nearly sexy action. A little oil and no other MT can compare. I own hoards of Leathermans and Gerbers, but this SOG is an outstanding medium duty EDC MT. THIS IS NOT HEAVY DUTY. But, excellent for the normal multitides of smaller tasks.
Drivers and blades are superbly made and hold up well to medium tasks.
While this will never replace a Leatherman Wave or Gerber MP600 as a heavy duty tool, it will be a fantastic for most people who don't need something that is made to break rusted large screws and bolts.
It is expensive, but the compound pliers reduce hand fatigue a great deal on stronger repetitive tasks. And the drivers/blades are well shaped and have a great bite on normal screws. The blades are a thing of beauty as well. They came reasonably sharp out of box, but with a few strokes on a washita stone, they glide through paper.
Last notes:
Oil entire tool before writing a review saying it is too tight.
Don't compare this to a 3/4 pound heavy duty multi tool. It is a medium duty at best.
Buy a torx set to loosen and tighten the screws to your desired preference.
Keep it clean. This should be true to ANY tool, but particularly with this one with the compound pliers and extra fine tolerances

A wonderful kitchen tool.  I use it to grind flax seeds and chia seeds as well as dry roasted nuts.  It works like a charm.
