Douglas Tools Edge Groover - Verdict: BUY

[KeithHideWorks]

Hands down the best tool I have bought in a while. I have tried cheap tandy to osborne to some older designs. 

Someone mentioned to just bite the bullet and buy the Douglas Tool and be done with it.

I was at the Pendleton Leather show and Bob Douglas happened to be there selling tools.  The tool is not cheap ($80 or so I think it was) but is very well designed and made. 

Its hard to explain but its the only tool i can actually make a strait stick grove with. The cheaper ones always tended to walk and were very sensitive to how much pressure you use and around corners. This little beast cuts with ease and I end up with something that is actually pleasing to the eye.

You can even take an old tool handle and put the edger into that for more control. 

Just wanted to share my experience and see if anyone else uses it too.

 

Thanks,
