Great build quality, excellent tool
Works exceptionally well (definitely much better than the toothpick I was mucking around with earlier) and makes a real difference for getting consistent brew times. As advertised, it does not scratch the portafilter. What positively surprised me was the build quality and the nice hefty feel of the metal handle, as well as a real metal tool stand. Very solid all around.

Solid build quality
Quality is really exceptional. I must admit, I bought this for my girlfriend, because I love the 0.4mm needle width (nice and firm, and not sharp), and now I like it better than the one I own at home. I think I will have to order another one if these for myself. Feels like an old-school product, in terms of build quality — heavy-duty plastic and metal. Order up if you’re on the fence!

Not A Bad WDT, One Small Change Would Make It Great.
TL;DR; It stirs and breaks up clumps. Not much more is required of this little device, and It works as it is intended!Pros:- [ ] Straight needles/prongs that fit the Flair Espresso Classic on up- [ ] The tips are not as sharp as acupuncture needles that DIY versions use- [ ] Has a stand to keep it from rolling all over the placeCons:- [ ] Needles can be pulled out if the center isn't tight- [ ] No easy way to unscrew the center which would make changing bent needles all that much easier- [ ] A bit on the expensive sideThe Full ReviewHaving printed my own WDT for use with my Flair, I am not a stranger to the need of these tools. The one I printed though.. it WILL draw blood. Using acupuncture needles, which this WDT is as well but they are blunt tips, is the most common method of making these tools. having one already made with tips that won't crave your blood is certainly a nice thing to have!The weight of this WDT is nice. It gives you a good feel in the hand, and the base/stand won't easily move on you. It should also help the needles not pierce your hand or foot if it happens to drop, although you will still know that you have dropped it after the thud.Speaking of dropping, at this price I expected there to be an easy way to replace the needles should something happen to the WDT. While you "can" unscrew the center of the tool and get the needles in and out, it would be nice if that had been considered and designed into the WDT. Being able to replace things that can get bent easily is a great selling point for me.
