Well built and heavy enough to withstand long use.

Given the inexpensive price, I wasn't expecting much, but I was still disappointed that the guide wouldn't grip my chisels well (my Craftsman chisels were too thick). Since there is only one roller in the center, it is easy to rock side to side (a two roller system, while more expensive, would be much better). So, the guide is better than just guessing the angle (and so still worth a few dollars), but for just a little bit better design of the grip and the rollers it could be much more useful.

I have had a cheap plane and chisels for a while and new that sharp was always better. I noticed that I don't have the steadiest hand when honing or sharpening and have a hard time keeping the bevel so this jig has helped me out quite a bit. Plus I just got a better set of chisels and I wanted to practice on the cheap chisels to see if it would work. My plan iron is so sharp I took a chunk of thumb. Worth it though because it was sharp and not dull.

Having never owned a chisel guide before when this went on sale I bought it in the local store, since my chisels have not really had a sharp edge since the day they were new. Having never used one before it took a bit to figure out how to get it set up to put a proper edge on the chisels. While my first attempt was not a perfectly square point. The edges have never been sharper. For a beginner on a budget this tool is much better then guessing at free hand sharpening!

It's very hard to make a good sharp edge without a tool like that.
