I love Hercules. More affordable than caterpillar, and after asking customer service, does not have big enough differences for the hobbyist I am. Caterpillar is longer, and both have 1/8 th in increments for slab cutting. I already have a multibar cutter, but having this one opens multiple possibilities. The 1/8 th in difference doesn't show if your mold gives a slab slightly thicker or larger. Ii is strudy, easy to clean, easy to use - just make sure the wires on both sides stay in the chosen position-. It came in less than 3 weeks after ordering. I had to pay 53$ custom fees for delivery in Canada. I was expecting something like that. I am very happy with it. Thankyou!
