I have the original Etch Mate, and it is a fine tool. What sort of parts are you going to be bending? If you need to just bend some small parts, you probably already have what you need on your workbench. Tweezers, small needle nose pliers, utility knife blade, etc...If you are going to be bending some longer pieces it is very useful. It's one of those kind of tools that you won't use everyday, but when you need it, it is good to have around.

HTH, Tom

I was looking at getting one.  Does anybody have one and what do you think?

 

Thanks,
