Thanks!

I have both the 2inch "Bug" and the "Nutter" from the the Smallshop. Very high quality machined tools, easy to use, I could never go back to folding with tweezers.

Thanks for all the info.. I read the reveiw fairly carefully.. as i'm planning on taking the PE plunge soon.. I have a voyager 7 sheet pe set for my dragon 251 3 in 1 kit in the mail somewhere and I will prob wind up buying one of these before I attept it.

I can quite honestly say that I don't really know how or why anyone would not use one of these tools, (aside from the monetary reason) coming from someone who struggled for years with the old ruler and tweezer deal...as a shipbuilder mainly, we have ALOT of bends to make with PE, railings, cranes, etc., and I can say that I have forgone quite a few PE additions to models of past because of the out and out pain in the butt it was to make these bends (that is with a failing eyesight and steadiness of hand!)...I also balked at the price of these little tools and now that I've been using one, I can rate the tool value at 100%.

I recently had the utmost pleasure to meet and talk with Alisdair Johnston of The Small Shop at this years AMPS 2006 Convention, and I am now even more convinced of the quality AND value of these PRECISION instruments. If you use a great deal of PE in your modeling, do yourself a favor, save up for one of these, you won't be dissapointed!
