1. Great tool from an Awesome company

   Posted by VITO DESARIO on Apr 6th 2021

   First off D-Way Tools is an awesome company that is fast as lighting in responding to your inquiries, patient and fully informative about their products. I purchased the 5 beading tool set (with alterations) and an 8” handle. They’re not only a set of high quality, hand crafted tools that require a very small learning curve to use, but are just simply beautiful to hold and look at. After this initial purchase I have since purchased the 16” handle which has become my go to handle for most of my turning needs. Obviously I’m very happy with this product and the client services of this company. Oh and in general I don’t do reviews so there you have it.

2. Great beading tools

   Posted by Stan on Nov 23rd 2020

   A few years ago I purchased the Sorby beading tools and used them but always had some issues getting great looking beads. Purchased the D-Way beading tools and am finding these work much better.

5. Great product but be sure you need the full set before buying

   Posted by Chris VanWoerkom on Apr 5th 2019

   These products work great. Be sure to watch the videos to learn how to properly use them. The key is to use a light touch. One thing I didn't think about when I ordered the set is that the larger beads also make a deeper groove. If you're planning to use this on a thin-walled bowl, you might consider sticking to the smaller sizes.

8. Beading tools

   Posted by Al Taylor on Nov 8th 2017

   At first, I thought these specialized tools were a bit expensive. After receiving the 5-piece set, I'm completely satisfied with their performance, and price. They are as easy to use as Dave's video demonstrates. After cutting some test beads on a few different woods, I'd recommend Dave's tools to anyone!

10. Premier Tools & High End Customer Service

    I received my set of Beading tools from Dave and couldn't be happier. I have purchased many items from Dave: CBN wheels, spindle and bowl gouges, large scrapers, etc. All have come with the same consistent quality and workmanship - and sharp!
    
    The beading tool set was no exception. First of all, Dave was kind enough to let me substitute the Diamond (Tear Drop) tool for one of the beading cutters. (I can see already I will get the others to complete the set!). The exact width and ability to see when the flat top of the bead disappears make it easy to make a consistent series of beads. The Diamond tool lets me sharpen and round over the edges of the last beads outside edge when a series complete. Well thought and and precise. Dave's suggestion of practicing with all of his tools certainly applies to these as well. Still playing to find the optimum angle of presentation (keep the handle low) to get crisp edges without tear out on the sides of the beads. The tools give me confidence to add embellishments without the worry of run backs when trying to create beads with a gouge or point tool.
    
    Besides the consistent tool quality, I appreciate Dave's willingness to provide advice on the use of his tools by encouraging phone calls. Coupled with the views he and Larry Hauch created on the use, set-up, sharpening and general woodturning advice makes these the best I've purchased. (This is a comparison of Thompson, Carter and Sons, Sorby, Benjamin's Best and Crown).
    
    I highly recommend these tools for the detail work that separates ordinary turnings from functional art pieces.
