Though this does seem to be a sturdy tool and quite versatile (I would give it 4.5 stars), a couple of things might make it even better.I had bought it in the hopes of using it with narrow cord, but it seems that the larger, pointed tip is a bit thicker at the end than in the product photo, so it would be best to use with thicker paracord. A bit thinner tip might make it useful for more widths of cord.As for using it in various configurations, the photos on Amazon show 3, but you can really use it in 5 configurations, since you can remove the center portion and use it with either tip as a shorter tool. However, the thread on the adapter that attaches to the cord end is a bit long for the larger tip due to its internal structure, so it may not be quite as stable as using the smaller tip since it can’t screw in all the way. I have debated cutting down the thread, but this might make the tool less stable overall, so I’ll probably use it as-is.Overall, I think it will be a very useful, strong tool that can be used for many tasks even other than paracord weaving, such as burnishing leather edges or drawing stitching channels in leather (though a thinner tip would be more useful for that as well).
