This looks like a handy tool for the money -- not necessarily for braces maybe glue clean up. Anybody have one?

Re: $14 what the heck?
Perhaps that listing should really have a disclaimer so I'll post it here: Pictures are for illustration only and not in proportion to actual blade width of 1/4" and overall length of 6"-- I am not familiar with the LMII tool.

Re: $14 what the heck?
I have both the tools advertised on eBay - I bought them there. They are convenient for getting into tight spaces, especially on a guitar that has been assembled or on a part that is small. And yes, they are tiny even though the photograph makes them large. Smallness, in fact, is connected to their usefulness.
Richard Schneider, who once lived in Kalamazoo, MI making Kasha-style guitars in his own shop and working as a consultant to Gibson (1970s), designed the other curved chisel that I have. It is large and plain looking and one of the most useful tools I own. I got it many years ago from one of the luthier supply houses . It was not especially cheap then, probably even more expensive now.
The curve in all three makes getting at a lot of the angles I use much easier.

Re: $14 what the heck?
Looks handy, can hardy go wrong for $14. . I have the LMI tool but I just use it to clean soft glue squeeze out along the braces about 10 minutes after gluing.
