	November 1, 2021
Reviewer: Anonymous Person from Ankeny, IA United States

I had one a few years ago and was very pleased with it. till Ii dropped it and a spindle broke off. The price with American Fly & Tackle was hard to bet/ignore. The quick response and shipping time was greatly appreciated. This was the first order with tis company and, although being an old hobby tier with a lot of material, it won't be my visit to the site.

Very Useful	February 19, 2020
Reviewer: JoJo from Evergreen State, United States

When I received the spindler tool, I was shocked how small it is, looks much bigger in the advertising photos! I gave it a good test run on wine corks to shape predator and saltwater poppers. For the most part, it does the job, but it's kind of tricky to center the object on the spindler so it doesn't wobble. After a little practice it seems to get easier. I place the spindler in a power drill held in my bench vise and then set the drill speed. Course sandpaper works awsome and quickly for shaping. I don't think this tool is a one size fits all and perhaps different sizes of the spindler would be more practical. Even though a wine cork is within the size they advertise, it doesn't hold the cork quite as well as I'd like too. You have to be careful not to press too hard while shaping or the cork will work itself off the spindler! Overall, the spindler is a much nicer tool to use than a six penny finishing nail!

Destroyed first one	July 31, 2018
Reviewer: Richard May from Indianapolis, IN United States

I purchased this to turn potbelly popper bodies from cork. Worked fine with small precut cork body. I only have a one speed dremel (30,000 rpm). When I put a half of a wine bottle cork on, it developed a high speed wobble, due to not being exactly centered. Due to the wobble, it threw the cork, and broke the center pin off at the base of the spindler. I have ordered a second, and also purchased a variable speed dremel, to turn them on. I expect that to work.
