The reciprocating one.
1) Do you use one?
2) Do you like it?
3) How much use do you get from it? ( got links to the work?)
4) Does it impact the work less than a mallet and hand held chisel?
5) Can you use it on work while still in the lathe?
6) Are the chisels you get for it any good?
7) Is it easy to control or does it tend to get away from you?
8) How often (how many hours of use ) do you need to open it up and replace wear components?
9) Does it leave a good finish or do you do lots of sanding to clean it up?
10) It's a rather Exspend-O-licious tool and, in my mind, doesn't do a multitude of things. So have you gotten your money's worth? or Will you, do you think, when?
11) Having used one - - - would you prefer a rotary tool instead.
