    I agree. Anything with a motor is probably a no-no. I have one of
    their dapping sets and like it well. I had to polish the ends of a
    couple of the punches, but nothing major. I have actually bought the
    needle files for the exclusive purpose of applying patination
    solutions to gold. They definitely are a good resource for hand tools
    that you can replace with higher-end ones as the funds become
    available, and then you have the HF ones as back-ups.
