IKAPE WDT Tools, Espresso Stirrer Distribution Tool for Barista, 0.25MM 6 Needles Espresso Coffee Stirrer with Stand and Extra 6 Needles (Black)

I have been using it for almost a year, it is a good product and very good quality but you have to be careful with the needles because they tend to bend easily, try to use it gently and place it in a place where its needles cannot bend. I have been using it for almost a year as I had mentioned and I have no problems with this product. It also includes additional needles in case you lose one or bend one. I can recommend this product.

The actual device works great, but it's difficult to reinsert the case as the top of the case is tapered, and the needles seem to fan out. Instead of using the device as intended, I flipped it, removed the bottom, and drilled a hole in my tray to hold the device upside down. Now, the bottom part, which fans out, is pointing toward the top, and it's effortful to put the handle with needles back into storage. One star off for making it a bit difficult to get the needles back into the holder without this flip optimization. It would have been great if the design of this device were this way from the start, but I was happy to be able to make this adjustment and improve the effort of putting the needles back into place. Other than that, it works quite well and does what it's designed for.

I've really been enjoying this WDT so far. The stock needles are nice and thin, and they give you some extras. The tool handle and the base are both well machined and solid items. My only niggle is that the opening in the base to set the handle is a tight fit with the needles. One of these days I'm going to be not so careful and bend one of the needles trying to place it back in the base.

This is my third product from IKAPE and so far i am not disappointed. It's very nicely built, the perfect size, it brings a full set of extra needles instead of a couple of replacement like my previous wdt and it has a stand so no more stabbing my hand 😁. What I noticed right away compared to my old wdt is the niddles are smaller and thinner making it slide smoother while distributing the coffee grounds with less resistance. Also the niddles are very secure in place and not coming off like my previous wdt tool. Ive only used it about 4 times, but so far this wdt from IKAPE did not disappoint and made a perfect addition to coffee corner.

This is a great tool! Needles are thin, just flexible enough, and adjustable in the handle piece. I really have no issues with it or how it performs. Taking a star because it can be a pain to get back in its base. Slightly flailing the top of the stand would prevent the occasional bent needle, or better yet, square handle and magnets.
