If you need a rugged tool that will stand up to daily use, look elsewhere. However, if you need something for one project or the occasional job at home, and don't want to spend over a grand for Rigid, this tool may be exactly what you need. I've only used the 1\" so far, but the quality for the price is amazing. Of course the standard caveats apply. Take your time and don't over stress it, use lots of good quality lubricant, if it starts to jam up from the cuttings, back off and clean it out then try again. Recommended for the DIY'er or hobbyist.
