Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This is an item that is so simple it doesn't seem worth the price, but I can report that this is definitely one of those times where you can trust the reviews. It's difficult to fully appreciate without actually holding one in your hand, and I remained fully skeptical right up until the first cut when I realized ... whoa. It's not just an over engineered push stick. It's a cutting jig with built in safety features. The price is steep and I was skeptical, but the value is there. Not only does it replace a blade guard, feather board, and push stick, this device alone does a better job than using the three combined. It allows you to control the work piece through the entire length of the cut, and gives you the ability to make cuts that would otherwise be too risky – with complete control. That control also makes your cuts more accurate. And that doesn't even count it's applications on the router table or jointer. For a simple little plastic gizmo, that's a lot of value. Sure, it's over-priced. But the developers of this item have, in my opinion, earned their money. They've created a simple tool that makes a risky task much, much safer. I'm buying a second one. I figure my fingers are worth it.
