This is actually my second time owning this Tip Tool. My first one was a blue one which I believe was made in the USA, maybe? The second one was one of the newer gold ones. Basically it is a:
mushroom grazer(sort of)
fine tip shaper in dime or nickel
burnisher
tapper
The mushroom grazer is basically for emergency use only as it it minimally effective.
The tip shaper, burnisher and tapper are excellent. That is why I keep coming back to thsi tool. The tapper can even be used in the traditional tapping method. It is pointed enough to almost use as a pick.
The only real cons I see are it needs a real blade type edge trimmer, and a way to rough shape a new tip. Oh well, I have other tools for that!
