Please note: This is specifically an ask to Tumbler users. If you're not a Tumbler users, please refrain from posting. I am not looking for opinions on best way to sharpen, or whether one should learn another method. I have a sharpening system I like, it's just cumbersome.

So, Tumbler users, how do you like your Tumbler? Is it effective? Can you use it all the way to the tip or the heel of the knife? Can you use it to quickly develop a sharp, useable edge?

Thank you!
 
A thread about this same device was posted in March of this year in this same subforum. A similar thread was posted in the Maintenance, Tinkering, and Embellishment forum in Dec 2022. I skimmed both of them. None of them had a response from someone who had actually used the device.

I wish you the best of luck in your search for responses from actual Tumbler users.
 
Looking at online reviews the thing that stands out to me is that the 2000 grit limits it's application quite a bit for the price. If you like the system it would probably be easy to DIY a clamp and several rollers with different grits for less.
