It Worked Well for Us for 30 years, ( at least ) !

First of all, I don't like set screws on much of anything! However, this particular item did serve my father and myself well in his custom cabinet business for over 30 years. We used it for decorative face plates on bookcases, fluted pilasters on fireplace mantles, fluted pilasters for large exterior... read full review »

tear-out

While I rated the product poor in all categories, I have not had a chance to use the product, so I really can't speak to the value, durability, or reliability.
