Friday afternoon I found a box outside my door. The shipping label said it was from Easy Wood Tools in Owensboro, Kentucky. Hmm...I didn't remember ordering any tools from Craig.
Opened the box, and there were two new carbide-tipped tools: The Ci2 Mini Rougher and the brand new Ci3 Mini Finisher (plus spare carbide cutters for each). Here's what they look like...
Here's the invoice showing what was included...
And a better look at the handwriting on the bottom...
That sly devil Stu snuck me a Christmas present more than a month early. I've already thanked him privately, but wanted to do it here, too. To steal his words, he's the Secret Santa-San.
I've had a chance to try both tools out a bit, and as expected, both are superbly made, and they work like a charm. Very easy to control, and nice, clean cuts. I can see both will be very handy and they will nicely fill some gaps in my arsenal.
For grins, here are the two new Minis next to an original Ci1 in a 24" Monster handle...
And next to a Ci0 in a 16" Monster handle...
They may be little, but they're very stout compared to any other "mini" tools I've used. I expect to get lots of miles out of these two.
