Editor’s Note:Want to know how to make a bench jeweler’s day? Send him a box full of new tools and tell him that if he plays with those tools for a month, you’ll let him keep ’em.
That’s just what we did. When planning this issue, we decided to feed the tool junkie in all of you by conducting independent product testings of some of the newest tools on the market. We sent three lucky jewelers the products listed here and gave them a pretty simple directive: Play! On the following pages, you’ll read their reviews of the products, and you can see for yourself if any of these tools deserves a spot on your bench.
