I know this topic comes up on here often. I wondered if anyone has bought one of these and if they are any good?

Jantz still has theirs for $15. Quite a difference.

I have not tried T BAR K's spinners but I have a set of carbide spinners that came from the Camillus factory.
They work great on nickel silver & brass pins, but Wallace Rockwell warned me against using them on steel pins and he also said that they worked a lot better if you use some lubricant with them.
I have also touched up the edges on mine with diamond burrs and a diamond hone.
I have used the spinners from Jantz, but I have had better luck with the ones I made from set screws than the ones from Jantz. All spinners I have used seem to work better with lube. I use Ultra-Lube which is almost a gel.

I have tried to have the Camillus carbide spinners duplicated but I have not found anyone who can make them yet.
