    I waited on this to let others tell their thoughts and experiences -
    I'm curious myself who and how many people use them. I have ALMOST
    every tool known to man, but I never had any desire for bezel
    punches and blocks. Because I almost always need some other size,
    angle or format than the block has, mostly. If they're useful to you
    in your particular work, whoever you may be, then no doubt they're a
    great thing. Otherwise one can't make a 5mm x 4.5 mm bezel because
    the punch is square, especially when it costs pretty major $$$$. In
    my world stones are almost never standard sizes......
