I was in Harbor freight and tool earlier this week and saw a 3 piece set of diamond sharpening stones.( coarse, med and fine grit)The price was about 12 bucks for them. Has anyone tried their sharpeners? I know they are pretty cheep, but I hate to buy something that is below par. Any input would be appreciated. I know they are pretty cheep, but I have in the past found a few tools that worked well that were reasonabley priced

I have a set of these.
Their fine stones are like DMT's extra coarse stone.
Their coarse stone could be cut up and wouldn't look bad on say, a tennis bracelet.
This is no joke about the fine stone. If I needed to do some heavy edge stock removal by hand, this stone would be the ticket.
Seriously though, these stones tear up a fine edge and to me, there is little difference in grit size between the three stones. Mine all seemed to be very coarse.
