Great tool

This tool has definantly saved a lot of time and money fusing blow tubes to other joints. You can work extremely close to the joint with this tool, just heat it up before applying you're ground joint and just grab your art with some kevlar and twist and pop her in the kiln.
Must have for GonG joints

This tool is straight and true. It is very high quality. Be sure to heat the graphite while working the glass. Sometimes clear glass can slip off holders so I insert a very thin steel shim to ensure a good grip. You can work glass very close to the joint is you keep the tool hot. Great for welding joint to tube or other joints to make adapters or domes. Highly recommended!
Beautiful!

Works great. And as I've said before in other reviews, just another great tool from blast shield. Get's the job done for sure.
Good, but wears away

Wears away fast, which ends up making it not great when doing hand-ground joints of your own. It still works really well for stock joints that I purchase.
great for GONG forming and holding
