What this tool adds
What this tool adds to your bench
Choose the Rockler tool when you want the main scraper-preparation stages in one body. It combines a file, a diamond hone and a burnisher, so you can compare it with buying a separate rod when you already own suitable abrasives.
The working components are a double-cut second file, a 2500 grit diamond hone and a hardened-steel burnishing rod. The maker identifies the body as glass-filled nylon. Diamond and steel describe those working parts rather than the material of the entire tool.
Numbered steps identify filing, honing, drawing the burr and turning it. The tool also has a 10 degree guide face for the burr-turning stage. Those features provide references for your method, without a guarantee of identical shavings or an error-free edge.
The package contains one sharpener; the scraper cards in demonstrations are separate. Check access when working a tight curved scraper profile. A separate burnishing rod may be the comparison you need for a different contact, while this integrated format keeps the preparation features together.

Questions before you choose
Is the whole tool made of diamond or steel?
The maker identifies a glass-filled nylon body with separate file, diamond-hone and steel-burnisher components.
Will it replace a separate burnishing rod?
It includes a rod and guide faces as part of the system. Compare a separate round or tapered rod if you want a different working contact or already have your abrasives.
Does it guarantee access to a gooseneck scraper?
Universal access to every curve is not established. Compare the contact and available clearance for the actual edge you are preparing.
