Perfect for DIY and repair work. I was using a similar tool, but I lost it and didn't have time to look for it, so I bought this one. Then I found the original right away, so this one became a spare. I would be grateful if you would purchase this product. (For some reason, I opened it and wanted to test it out, so I used it a few times. Sorry.) I used it a few times for test cuts and stored it for about a year. There are absolutely no problems with its use. Since it has been in someone's hands once, please refrain from purchasing if you are sensitive or concerned. Thank you for looking.
