What owners say
No positive feedback was recorded by the readers. Both reviewers criticized the tool for lacking scissors and a file. This omission was the sole point raised in the available data.
Read from 2 independent reviews (2 reddit). Fewer than 5 were found, so treat the agreement below as weaker than it looks. A point becomes a pro or a con only when two or more reviewers made it.
No praise was shared by more than one reviewer.
