I bought this a few weeks back, was using skewer/toothpick, found this item made good medium sized paperbeads but you have to practice first to get hang of this machine. Pro's are that its ergonomic (as was getting painful fingers/hands/wrisÂts from using skewer and toothpicks), also you can increase productivity and churn out quite a few beads but con's are if you are after finer/smaller sized tightly wound beads this machine is not for you. It can be awkward to try to keep machine stationary and not move around, since then have ordered/received bead tool and is my current preference.
