I'm looking at starting stringing and banding and am having a hard time acquiring the tools. I know I could build them. I've looked into that. Frankly, the Vertias system is around $130 for what I would want. I think I could build the tools for around $100 ($60 of that is cutters from LN). So for $30 I would rather just have Veritas do the work for me. : )

However, I cant seem to find any reviews for this product that weren't from a magazine. I'm kind of skeptical of those. I'd rather have a Creeker let me know.
