This is one of my very first DiamondCore tools, and I’m sad I didn’t get on board sooner - they cut like a dream! My only real complaint is that I wish the shape itself was bigger. To echo the sentiment of another reviewer, the T7 just isn’t quite as versatile as a standard loop tool. If I could do it again, I’d purchase the XL version of this instead.

I've been wanting to invest in a diamondcore tool for what feels like a lifetime! And I finally did. I did, I decided. I will spend the money on a quality tool. But then what shape?! I picked the T7 avocado shape, because I assumed it would be very similar to the standard (very versatile) large loop tool we all know and love.
Now don't get me wrong. The blade is lovely, and I was immediately kicking myself for not taking the diamondcore plunge sooner. Buuuuut, I really don't love the shape. Or rather I should say, the size of the shape. It's too small, and it feels really limiting when I'm using it. I wish I had gone with a different shape. Maybe if this was like my 4th diamondcore too, it would be a welcome addition to the arsenal. But it's not. I guess I just expected more of a workhorse, and kinda feel like I got a 1 trick pony. But I'm still saving up and looking forward to my 2nd diamondcore.
