Picked this up at Lee Valley a few weeks back, thought it might work well on neck shaping.
Pleased to report this works great and is easy on my arthritic fingers.
Very easy to control on concave or convex surfaces.

Thanks for that. I've been looking at it for a while. Might pull the plug to help with my tool acquisition syndrome! :)

Looks interesting. Did you get the larger one or the smaller? Thanks, Bob

B- Now that you have the tool, do you see any advantage or disadvantage to having the larger one?-Bob

Bob, not having tried the larger version I couldn’t say for sure, but for necks, the smaller Unit seems appropriately sized.
For me the best part is the reduction of finger pain.
