This is a good hold-down stick for use on almost anything you need to push into a spinning blade (table saw, router table, etc.) or just hold down while a tool does its job, such as a drill press. Three legs means it is always stable, and your hands are safe. It's made of a heavy plastic, won't damage anything it comes in contact with, but is sturdy enough to take some downward pressure. The grip is padded, a nice touch. The rubber feet are holding up well in our vintage furniture rehabilitation shop, but they'll probably be the first thing to go on this. I drilled a hole in the single leg end to hang it.

This push stick for miter saws is an excellent safety upgrade to my miter saw operation. While this may not be needed on many cuts, it’s great to have it available for short cut. This is well made, ergonomic, solid, and fairly priced.

I love this, my husband is sight impaired and it makes me feel better when he has to get his hand close to the blade.

Rubber pads fall off at little provocation. I’m going to try to glue them in place with silicone cement as a fix.

I love people's expressions when I show them this hold down stick. I first ask them to guess what they think it is, and no one ever gets it right. But when I tell them the function, instantly their eyes light up and they are amazed (as they should be. Once you have a mishap and this stick saves your fingers (as it did in my case) you know it is worth every penny.This stick is designed to hold down smaller pieces of wood in situations where your fingers would get too close to the blade, and you can't fit a clamp in. Made of a durable plastic the stick can apply a great deal of pressure downward on a piece of wood.The stick is simple to use, just use whichever end gives you a secure grip on the piece of wood you are cutting, and push down on the handle. The rubber feet hold tightly to the wood while you make your cut. The design is ingenious.This is my second stick. I still have my original stick because it still works even after my mishap. While cutting some red oak on my miter saw, a piece of offcut must have shifted and got caught up by the spinning blade. Instantly the offcut shot across the garage (never found it), and that force slammed the piece the stick was holding hard against the fence. The miter stick ended up losing one of the rubber pads, but I am sure I would have broken a finger.I now have a stick hanging next to the miter saw, so I do not forget to use it.

This is certainly a nice-to-have, but not necessarily a must-have. You could create your own jig to hold down smaller items at the mitersaw, but this is so much faster and easier. The plastic is solid/thick and this doesn't feel cheap at all. I'm not worried about breaking it if it falls. It'll help you do the job safer and easier so I'd suggest it!

I'm a trim/finish carpenter by trade and have spent most of my life in the shop in my free time as a woodworker. I can still count to ten, but have had a few close calls over the years, and the chop saw and me trying to "cut it close" is often the culprit in those cases. You cant put a price on fingers. Ive made similar hold down sticks and jigs over the years but this one is well made and purpose built. It IS However a copy of the 10 million dollar stick, and item Ive held and seen in other shops. This is a good copy, but for $10 more. I'd personally get the original, this makes no changes or improvements on design. Feet do fall out right away, but CA glue solves that. Small amount of flex but negligible.It's worth a shot and a try. For cutting small crown returns and the like it's been a nice helping hand already. I don't know if it will find a spot on the daily jobsite/trailer for me, but for the shop it's a nice tool to have nearby.
