Ship planking vice
This is a very good clamp for working on small boats. I have not tried it on larger boats as yet.
I would recomed it.

Six Tweezer Set
This assortment of six heavy duty, highly-versatile, polished stainless steel tweezers was exactly what I needed and wanted in my hobby toolbox. Not too small, not too large, just right. They feel great in my hand, and they've already helped me out of more than one tight spot on an antique clock I'm repairing. My wife is hinting she'd like a set of her own to add to her jewelry-making tools. I recommend these without reservation for anyone who works with her or his hands. -
Not so advanced kit
I never write negative reviews but am compelled this time around. This certainly feels like While the catalog that arrived w the kit clearly states that the essential tools aren't included in the advanced kit, it's a lot less clear WHAT IT IS that you get when you purchase off the website. This was easy to get over, I'll count it as a personal oversight BUT!! then I've examined the contents of the advanced kit more closely! The quality is very disappointing!!!
The hull/keel clamp support is Artesania Latina that can be bought on other hobbyist sites for a lot less, for example. The miniature pry/chisel set is a cheap poor quality kit with NO mini pry. Instead of the promised 10 drills I've only received 8!!! Who packaged this kit??? The "excellent" mini table vise has rubber pads instead of rubberized covers over steel jaws and feels incredibly flimsy overall, certainly not "Excellent" as the catalog states, although to be fair, should be good enough for ship modeling.

Wow Wonderful Drill for its size
This drill is wonderful and very useful. Excellent machining and was able to use easily. -
As expected, good little backup cutter
Good mini cutters, above average spring response, I would not use to cut anything stronger than 18ga braided wire (Phone or speaker), nice size to keep in nail bags, handle coating appears to be thicker than your standard low cost cutters. I would recommend this as a $4.00 and under tool. -
Very expensive mailing costs. I will look for another modeling tool supplier.
I purchased the 'Essential Tool Kit' and the 'Pin Vise Kit' and for the price, expected better quality. The large drill set had 15 bits, but they were all rusty.
The small drill kit was fine.

Tiny Nails?
I'm restoring old steamer trunks and have the need of removing very small nails and other fasteners from the trunks. I'm 82 years old and do not have the fine dexterity of years past. So these little devils" make my work much easier. Thanx. Garrett." -
Broken Packaging
I ordered some of these for myself many years ago and loved them. They're perfect for many jobs. Ordered two of them for Christmas presents this year and had to send them back because the packaging was all cracked. Great tweezers, poor packaging.
