Abe, I recently got one of these and they do work extremely well. For the guy that asked about the finish on the black one, it is not shiny, not like the finish on an ebony cue anyway. I'm not sure it even has a finish on it. It seems more like the natural wood to me.
For anyone interested here's the video on the proper use of this tool:
